MONZA, Italy - Seven times Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has signed a new contract with Mercedes and the Briton will continue to partner compatriot George Russell in 2024 and 2025, the team said on Thursday.

No financial details were given.

The 38-year-old last won a race in 2021, with Red Bull and Max Verstappen now dominant after ending Mercedes's record run of eight successive constructors' world championships.
