Hamilton extends his contract with Mercedes

As the world champion racing team announced on Thursday in the run-up to the German Grand Prix (Sunday, 15.10:33 p.m.), the contract with the 2020-year-old Englishman, which expires at the end of the year, has been extended early until XNUMX.

“Since Toto Wolff and I sat together in the winter, this contract extension was basically just a formality,” said Hamilton: “I have been part of the Mercedes racing family for 20 years, and I have never felt more comfortable in a team. We are on and off the race track are on the same wavelength - and I'm looking forward to more victories in the future."

Hamilton succeeded record world champion Michael Schumacher at Mercedes in 2013. The Brit won the Drivers' World Championship in the Silver Arrow in 2014, 2015 and 2017. In 2016 he was narrowly defeated by his teammate Nico Rosberg. From 2014 to 2017, Hamilton celebrated winning the constructors' championship with Mercedes. In 2008, Hamilton won his first drivers' championship behind the wheel of a McLaren.

Team boss Wolff hopes for further success with his superstar. “I am firmly convinced that there are still some incredible chapters of our shared history ahead of us,” said the Austrian: “Most of what has already been said about Lewis as a Formula 1 driver - he is one of the greatest in the history of the sport, and his records speak for themselves."
