Hamilton wi♌ll remain in F1 until the end of 2025 after signing a new two-year deal with Merc🉐edes.

It will keep Haಞmilton in F1 until he’s 40, having ♛made his debut back in 2007 at the age of 22 with McLaren.

꧑Not only has Hamilton had a significant impact on track 💖with his seven world championships and 103 race wins, he’s been important away from it.

Whether it’s raising issues around racism or society, or even dressing in his own unique sty𒁃le, Hamilton has often veered away from the traditional norms associated with a racing driver.

Gasly feels Hamilton’s trailblazing over the years has made it easier for younger drivers to come into🎶 F1 and be themselves without fear of being criticised. 

“I think the mentality has changed slightly, especially if you look to o🙈ther sports💛, NBA in the States it’s very different I think people have a lot more space to express themselves.

“I’ve always told him [that I respect him].

“Actually I get on very well with Lewis, I often thank him for sticking ꦆto his values and to himself all these years because now it’s definitely made the path smoother for us young drivers.”
