Lewis Hamilton has signed a new two-year deal at Mercedes to keep him with the Silver Arrows until the end of the 2023 season. The 36-year-old would have been out of contract at the end of the current campaign but will remain on the F1 grid for at least another couple of years as he aims to seal a record-breaking eighth world title.
Hamilton’s new deal will see his working relationship with Mercedes stretch to ten years after joining the German outfit in 2013.
The seven-time Drivers’ Championship winner told the Mercedes website: “It is hard to believe it’s been nearly nine years working with this incredible team and I’m excited we’re going to continue our partnership for two more years.
“We’ve accomplished so much together but we still have a lot to achieve, both on and off the track. I’m incredibly proud and grateful of how Mercedes has supported me in my drive to improve diversity and equality in our sport.
“They have held themselves accountable and made important strides in creating a more diverse team and inclusive environment. Thank you to all the dedicated and talented individuals at Mercedes whose hard work makes it all possible and the Board for their continued trust in me.”
