Lewis Hamilton is one of seven drivers on the Formula 1 grid whose current contracts expire 12 months from now.
After a 'silly season' to remember in 2022, the situation is primed for another potential swathe of driver moves in the coming year. Some new signings made in recent times only have short-term deals to begin with, while others are coming to the end of longer deals signed years ago.
One of them is Hamilton, who originally looked set to consider retirement at the end of the 2023 season. But that now looks unlikely to happen, given his recent pledge to sign a new deal with Mercedes to most likely keep him in F1 beyond his 40th birthday.
