HAMILTON SIGNS NEW MERCEDES CONTRACT
Hamilton joined the Mercedes work team in 2013, and has since scored 44 victories with the squad.
Despite being approached by a rival team, the four time world champion said resigning with Mercedes was a formality and he’d agreed to continue with the squad over the winter.
“This contract extension has basically been a formality, since Toto and I sat down during the winter, so it’s good to put pen to paper, announce it and then get on with business as usual,” he said.
“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.
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.”
Hamilton is only the third driver to be confirmed for the 2019 Formula 1 season, along with Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari and Max Verstappen at Red Bull.
Hamilton’s 2018 team-mate Valtteri Bottas is yet to announce his plans for the upcoming season.
