Mercedes announced that they are repeating their Driver line-up in 2024 with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell both onboarded until 2025. Stefano Domenicali believes that Hamilton’s renewal is solely to focus on getting back the World Title.
“He is an extraordinary driver and I believe he has only one objective today – his eighth world title. I’m sure he feels in great shape, he has a lot of confidence in the team and, from a sporting point of view, it’s nice to know he’s there.”, said Domenicali. The CEO was recently reported speaking about Verstappen’s dominance in the sport and refusing to take action on Red Bull’s advantage over it’s rivals.
The elusive eight championship evaded Hamilton back in the famous 2021 season. The Victor then, was Verstappen and many believe Lewis has been seeking revenge. Domenicali joins the list.
