What has been announced in the last few days is now official. Lewis Hamilton remains in Formula 1 – as a driver! The Brit will also be on the hunt for a title for the Silver Arrows in the coming season.
In a message on the Mercedes website, regarding the presentation of the new car on February 18th, the following sentence is written: “…You will also hear from our two drivers for the 2022 season, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell… » This also makes it clear when Hamilton will break his silence at the latest – on February 18. The seven-time world champion has not spoken since the dramatic world championship defeat against Max Verstappen on the last lap of the last race.
Mercedes is aiming for a ninth consecutive title in the constructors’ championship next season. Since the start of the hybrid era in 2014, the Silver Arrows as a team have been the measure of all things in Formula 1. The new racing car will no longer be painted black but silver. (rbe/nab)
