luis hamilton is going to drive for mercedes next season. the former world champion has won six of his seven world titles with the team. he's only committed to a one—year deal. let's get more on this from our fi reporter. we spoke a week or so ago about this. that contract curveball. both the principal says this was never in doubt.- this was never in doubt. never in doubt. this was never in doubt. never in doubt- come _ this was never in doubt. never in doubt. come on, _ this was never in doubt. never in doubt. come on, we _ this was never in doubt. never in doubt. come on, we knew- this was never in doubt. never in doubt. come on, we knew it- this was never in doubt. never in doubt. come on, we knew it was| this was never in doubt. never in - doubt. come on, we knew it was never in doubt. 0bviously doubt. come on, we knew it was never in doubt. obviously it was a matter of when not if he was going to sign the contract to stop lewis hamilton had coronavirus at the end of last year. will got it at the beginning of this year. it's been a somewhat messy way to sign a contract. it's finally done. that's the most important thing. a multimillion pound deal. we don't know exactly how much the last one was worth. about £30 million each year. maybe another 30 million in the bank which

is very nice. it's important that it's been announced ahead of the season. lewis hamilton will go for. his eight world title.— his eight world title. again with mercedes _ his eight world title. again with mercedes. he _ his eight world title. again with mercedes. he says _ his eight world title. again with mercedes. he says it's - his eight world title. again with mercedes. he says it's very - mercedes. he says it's very important that they're going to set “p important that they're going to set up this foundation. something he's really on top of as well to promote diversity and inclusivity in the sport. diversity and inclusivity in the sort. . , , ,, sport. certainly in the press release it — sport. certainly in the press release it was _ sport. certainly in the press release it was right - sport. certainly in the press release it was right up - sport. certainly in the press. release it was right up there. sport. certainly in the press . release it was right up there. it was one of the main bullet points of the reasons why he stand on the dotted line. 0nce the reasons why he stand on the dotted line. once again mercedes coming together with lewis hamilton to create a foundation. it was clear last year lewis hamilton really wanted to campaign, really wanted to strive to bring in diversity and inclusion. which is a sport that really struggles with that. so from now on, that's his key mission within the sport apart from winning. in the future at 25% of the workforce at mercedes will have to be made up of people outside of the usual remit. um? be made up of people outside of the usual remit-— usual remit. why only a year or? is

six weeks. many thanks. most of our 0lympic focus has been on this summer's delayed games in tokyo, but the winter olympics are scheduled to take place in beijng next february. an academic study says that athletes taking part there are likely to be exposed to potentially hazardous pollution. the international olympic committee say they are working with local organizers to address the issue. drew savage reports. just under a year to go until the 29th winter games... the first to be held in china. 190 events, in seven different sports — but athletes competing in beijing next year could be doing so in potentially hazardous, polluted air. an academic report, shared with the bbc, looked at air quality data over the past five years and found poor to hazardous conditions up to half the days in february — and that's a concern."the challenge for athletes with air quality is that they are at higher risk because they are outdoors and they're exerting themselves.

tiny particles in the air that you can't see lodge themselves in your airways and in your lungs and that can be damaging in the long term. it also can impede performance in the immediate. if we are expecting athletes to perform at a high level this is not to cut it. we're talking carbon, methane, sulphur and so on," there were similar concerns before the 2008 summer games when chinese authorities introduced measures to improve air quality. it's athletes in the snow sport endurance events, like the biathlon, who'll feel the biggest impact of any pollution. we are breathing pretty heavily during — we are breathing pretty heavily during our competitions. it's enough where _ during our competitions. it's enough where even — during our competitions. it's enough where even the slightest change in air pollution is going to affect our lungs _ air pollution is going to affect our lungs and — air pollution is going to affect our lungs and how we feel when we don't racing _ lungs and how we feel when we don't racing and _ lungs and how we feel when we don't racing and training. it is challenging. it would be a big concern — challenging. it would be a big concern for me if they didn't clean
