Lewis Hamilton agreed to a new deal with Mercedes that will keep him with the team through the 2025 F1 season. Mercedes confirmed the agreement on Thursday while also announcing that Hamilton’s teammate George Russell also signed a new two-year deal.

Hamilton was previously in the final year of his contract with Mercedes and his future with the team seemed unclear. The 38-year-old reportedly attracted interest from Ferrari while also considering retirement.

“We have never been hungrier to win. We have learned from every success but also every setback,” said Hamilton after the news was made official. “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.”

Lewis Hamilton has struggled in recent seasons following a dominant run that saw him win six F1 championships between 2014 and 2020. After finishing second to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in controversial fashion in 2021, Hamilton had a disastrous season in 2022 that saw him fail to get a single win for the first time in his career.

Hamilton slightly improved this season, making the podium four times and having one pole position. He is currently ranked fourth on the F1 Drivers standings.

British racing driver Lewis Hamilton isn’t getting tired of dominating in Formula 1. Hamilton, who won the last four championships, wants to stay in F1 for “at least another three years.”

Hamilton is the favorite to win the F1 title this year as well, which would tie him with the greatest of all time Michael Schumacher. However, the 35-year-old racer doesn’t mean to stop there.

“I think you still have to earn the right to be here in terms of how you perform and continue to deliver,” Hamilton told reporters on Thursday. “So my goal is to continue to deliver as long as I can. I do see myself going for at least another three years.”

Hamilton is only under contract with Mercedes-AMG Petronas for 2020, but sources close to the team said that the two sides are expected to reach an agreement in the coming months. His last extension came in 2018 when he inked a two-year deal that made him the best paid F1 driver in history with around $53 million-per-year salary. 

Lewis Hamilton opened the 2020 season missing the podium on the Austrian Grand Prix but then bounced back with wins on Styrian and Hungarian GP. He now has 86 career wins, being five short from Schumacher’s record of 91.

“I have been part of the Mercedes racing family for 20 years and I have never been happier inside a team than I am right now,” – said Hamilton after the deal was announced. “We are on the same wavelength both on and off track – and I am looking forward to winning more in the future and shining even more light on the three-pointed star. I’m very confident that Mercedes is the right place to be over the coming years.”

The 33-year-old also said that signing a new deal was just a “formality,” since he and Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff already had most of the things agreed on last winter when they started the discussions.

“It’s good to put pen to paper, announce it and then get on with business as usual,” – added Hamilton.

Lewis Hamilton is one of the most successful drivers in Formula One history, having won four championships and holding several records including the one for the all-time most career points (2,773). Hamilton joined Mercedes in 2013 from McLaren and consecutive titles in his two first seasons. His teammate Nico Rosberg then won the title in 2016, with Hamilton regaining the trophy last season.

In the 2018 season, Lewis Hamilton is currently ranked second, sitting eight points behind Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.
