Lewis Hamilton has reiterated that he is "relaxed" over reaching an agreement with Mercedes over a new deal.
The two-time world champion is now into the final year of his contract, although the two parties have yet to begin discussions.
However, Hamilton insists that he is not talking to any other teams and does not believe that Mercedes are looking elsewhere either.
"As soon as I left the last race, I was at the factory for a couple of days, but I haven't sat down with the team," he told Sky Sports News.
"But, again, we said last year we're not in a rush. We're relaxed. The team have acknowledged they want to continue with me and vice versa, so there is no stress.
"I'm comfortable and confident and trust that they're not speaking to anyone else and they know that's the case with me."
Hamilton won 11 races in 2015, including six of the final seven events, to help land the championship crown.
