World champion sticks with team until end of 2023 season‘I’m excited to continue our partnership,’ says 36-year-oldLewis Hamilton has signed a new contract with Mercedes, committing to race on in
Formula One for a further two years. The 36-year-old, who has won a record-equalling seven world championships, will now remain in the sport until at least 2023, having made his F1 debut in 2007.
The new deal, which was announced before qualifying for Sunday’s Austrian
Grand Prix, is a remarkable statement of intent from the
British driver, whose future in the sport had been under intense speculation. He joined Mercedes in 2013 and has won six of his seven titles with them since then.
