Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team will be parting ways after the end of the 2024 season. The 7-time champion had activated the release clause option from his contract last season, which will now see him driving under the Mercedes banner.

The 39-year-old did sign a new two-year extension deal with his current team only last summer.
