Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton renewed his contract with Scuderia Ferrari. The renewal extends his position beyond his initial two-year commitment. Spanish sports broadcaster Partidazo COPE reports Hamilton signed the extension. Ferrari expects an official announcement before the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 6.
Securing Hamilton provides long-term stability for Ferrari's racing division. This is particularly relevant ahead of the 2027 regulation changes. Charles Leclerc also holds a long-term deal. The team's driver lineup is now set for the next few years. This decision solidifies Ferrari's immediate future. However, it may delay opportunities for junior drivers in the team's academy.
