Mercedes have confirmed a Lewis Hamilton release ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix.

The seven-time Formula 1 champion has just four grands prix remaining with his current team having secured a stunning switch to Ferrari for the 2025 season and beyond.

Although he does have two race victories under his belt at Silverstone and Spa, the 39-year-old’s final season at Mercedes has been one of mixed fortunes and he will surely be eyeing greater success in red next campaign.

Hamilton was made an honorary citizen of Brazil in 2022 and is adored by the fans whenever he races in Sao Paulo.
