Hamilton’s dedication and passion for success were evident in his statement following the contract signing. He remarked, “Being at the top does not happen overnight or over a short period of time, it takes commitment, hard work and dedication and it’s been an honour to earn our way into the history books with this incredible team.” The British driver also expressed gratitude to his team for their unwavering support on and off the track.
This extension carries an additional historical significance, as Hamilton will surpass Michael Schumacher’s record for the most seasons spent with a single constructor. By the end of the 2023 season, Hamilton will equal Schumacher’s 11 seasons with Ferrari, and he will further establish a new benchmark by the conclusion of 2024.
