Hamilton Grateful For Mercedes

“I couldn’t be more proud of the people that I work with and this team, and I couldn’t be more grateful to Mercedes. Mercedes have changed my life, supported me since I was 13 years of age, given me a chance to be a Formula 1 driver for them and putting their faith behind me all these years so it’s been amazing. We’ve gone through difficult times but always came out with our heads high and stayed true to our values. For us to have now gone through this difficult phase to slowly building back up to fight for wins is a great feeling, and I’m proud of the work George and I are doing. I’m really excited about the next few months we have ahead of us,” said Hamilton after his win at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Mercedes started the 2024 season also on a low note but have managed to do some good work with their car which has put them into the fight with the other top teams.
