After a lifetime dedicated to racing, 2026 will mark my final season as a professional racing driver.
Not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a new chapter.
Motorsport has been my life for as long as I can remember. It gave me discipline and grit before I knew why I needed them, and purpose in moments when the road ahead was far from clear.
From the suburbs of São Paulo to Monaco, racing shaped my life in ways I could never have imagined. It changed me profoundly as a driver, as a person, as a father, and as a human being. I gave everything I had to this sport, and in return, it gave me a life beyond anything I could have dreamed of.
I am deeply grateful to my family, who supported me from day zero. Every sacrifice, every difficult decision, every moment away from home since I was 17 years old, every victory, and every defeat was carried together with them. Without their love, patience, and belief, none of this would have been possible. I have a wonderful wife and children who helped me make this decision.
A very special thank you to Formula E, where I have spent the last fourteen years surrounded by extraordinary people—people who started writing on napkins and created an amazing championship, and whom I now consider family. Formula E is my home, and my home is Formula E.
This decision comes with emotion, but also with peace. Every great race has a final lap, and I want mine to be driven with the same intensity, commitment, and love that brought me here.
I will give everything in my final races in 2026.
The future is bright, and I will share more news with you soon.
Lewis Hamilton: “It’s such an honour to be part of this team. Second year feels still very fresh, I remember signing the contract, I was in Hawaii at the time, couldn’t believe still to this day that I get to work for this iconic brand.”

🚨 Milestone reached 🚨
Audi has just completed its first full lap at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
No notable issues reported, with core systems operating as expected.

🚨 | Ferrari has focused heavily on reducing weight for F1 2026, optimising gearbox design and battery packaging.
The new rules cut minimum weight by around 30 kg, and Ferrari’s in-house power unit, compact transmission and battery know-how could offer an important advantage.

This is the new @ThisIsMemento 2026 #F1 showcar.
It's used by teams & sponsors for events and, I suspect, several official launches this year.

Lewis Hamilton’s winter break plans:
“Lots of hugs from my nieces and nephews. Time with family. I'm going to sleep a lot. I'm going to be travelling and focus on my health and sleep.”
The journalist suggests he starts playing paddle right at the end and he makes a face 😂
#AbuDhabiGP 🇦🇪 | Lewis Hamilton on what has motivated him this year:
“I’ve had an amazing support from so many people that travel around the world, supporting me or sending me messages, so my fans have been the thing that have kept me going, really have been the rock.”
“My mum has really been phenomenal, supportive, my dad and my family as well.”
“I would say just luckily I’ve got those good people around me and then, as I said, each weekend I see young kids and adults rooting me on and reminding me why I do what I do and not to give up.” ❤️
