    SEVEN-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has signed a new contract with Mercedes and will continue to partner compatriot George Russell in 2024 and 2025, the team said on Thursday (Aug 31).

    No financial details were given.

    The 38-year-old Briton last won a race in 2021, with Red Bull and Max Verstappen now dominant after ending Mercedes’s record run of eight successive constructors’ world championships.
