Lewis Hamilton hasn’t won a single race until now in the season. He has never had a winless season in Formula 1. But despite Mercedes falling down the pecking order, the 7-time world champion is firm on continuing with the team. He recently hinted at being involved in something big with Mercedes but refused to divulge any information.

Hamilton’s current contract with the team runs until the end of 2023. 6 of his 7 world titles have come with the Silver Arrows. The partnership has clearly showcased one of the most dominant eras in the history of Formula 1. As it turns out, it is not just the performance on the track that has kept the Briton loyal to the team, but also the vision that serves a larger purpose.

What is Lewis Hamilton’s ‘plan’ with Mercedes?

Lewis Hamilton had made his intentions of staying with Mercedes clear after the Mexican Grand Prix. He hinted at signing a long-term contract with the team. He is currently 37 years old and a multi-year contract might well see him race beyond 40. While he hasn’t won a race this year until now, he cleared it is not just winning that influenced his intention to stay with the team.

In his latest interview with Formula 1, Hamilton said, “I want to be creative and continue to do all the other things I get to do. I get to be myself at this team – and the support from Mercedes has been incredible since day one. Together, it’s not just about winning, we can be part of the many people in the world that are trying to change the world for the better.”

As for his ‘plan’, he didn’t reveal much. “I’m generally loving driving so I’m working on a plan. I can’t tell you what that is just yet, but there is no limit to what we can do.”
