The post about Lewis not getting a long term contract is misleading, but I read somewhere that yes Max was involved in that decision. Not because of a future contract but the past.

Back when he came to f1 Mercedes had both drivers under contract and weren’t able to offer Max a seat and they know how that has turned out. They don’t want George and Lewis committed too long and then be unable to offer Antonelli a seat just like they couldn’t for Max.

So in a way it is because of how they couldn’t get Max (back then), which is why Lewis was getting a shorter term.
