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.

“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.”
