Lewis Hamilton has said he has “unfinished business” in describing his motivation to continue to race in Formula One for another two years. The seven-time champion announced a new two-year deal with Mercedes in the buildup to this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza. His teammate, George Russell, has also extended his deal for two more years.
The 38-year-old is in his 17th season in F1 and is already the second oldest driver in the sport behind Fernando Alonso, who is 42 years old. The new contract will take him into his forties as he attempts to take a record eighth F1 championship and means he will almost certainly see out his career with Mercedes on a deal worth a reported £50m a year.
