Lewis Hamilton's contract extension with Mercedes is official.
The Formula 1 team announced Thursday that Hamilton, 38, had signed a two-year extension through the 2025 season. Hamilton’s contract had been up at the end of the 2023 season but it was widely considered a formality that he would continue to drive for Mercedes.
"Our partnership with Lewis is one of the most successful in the sport’s history," Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said in a statement."It was always a formality that we would continue together – and it’s energizing for us all to be confirming that publicly. His qualities as a pure racing driver are illustrated by his remarkable track record; but over our years together, he has grown to become a pillar and leader of our team.
Hamilton entered that race looking to win his fifth consecutive world championship. Since then, Red Bull and Verstappen have become the dominant force in F1. Verstappen is well on his way to a third straight title in 2023 and is looking to win his 10th race in a row on Sunday at the Italian Grand Prix. Hamilton hasn’t scored a win since Saudi Arabia in 2021 and currently sits fourth in the standings.
"We have never been hungrier to win. We have learnt from every success but also every setback. We continue to chase our dreams, we continue to fight no matter the challenge and we will win again. I'm grateful to the team who have supported me both on and off the track. Our story isn't finished, we are determined to achieve more together and we won't stop until we do."
