Hamilton to stay with Mercedes until at least 2023 season

The seven-time champion is currently in his ninth season with Mercedes.

Spielberg: Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton will stay with Mercedes through the 2023 season after signing a two-year contract extension, the team said Saturday.

The seven-time champion is currently in his ninth season with Mercedes. “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,” Hamilton said.

“We’ve accomplished so much together but we still have a lot to achieve, both on and off the track.” An eighth championship would move Hamilton ahead of Michael Schumacher on the all-time list.

Hamilton currently trails Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by 18 points after eight races. Verstappen leads him 4-3 in wins and 3-2 in pole positions. Team principal Toto Wolff said this season’s tight race for the title prompted them to get the contract done.”
