After Lewis Hamilton revealed he has extended his contract at Mercedes, Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz and David Croft debate the decision

Despite gentle speculation that he could consider a new challenge at Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton confirmed what most fully expected ahead of the Monaco GP – he is staying at Mercedes for a further three seasons.

With one world title at the team already in the bag, and the lead of this year’s world championship currently his, Hamilton is staying at what stands as F1's benchmark team, but will they retain that status all the way to 2018?

With the Monte Carlo harbour providing a stunning backdrop, Sky F1’s Ted Kravitz and David Croft debate whether the Briton has signed up for three more years at the right – or wrong – time.
