F1: Mercedes and Hamilton renew contract for 2021

Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 team have announced their much-anticipated agreement to continue racing in 2021. In the midst of the pandemic — which personally affected Hamilton — and of major technical and financial regulation changes in the sport, the two parties have agreed only to a one-year contract.

However, the cooperation between Hamilton and Mercedes is extending further from the race track. "I'm proud to say we are taking that effort further this year by launching a foundation dedicated to diversity and inclusion in the sport," stated Hamilton.
