Hamilton details Mercedes 'moments' to be remembered forever

Lewis Hamilton has detailed the moments he will cherish forever from his Mercedes career, which dated back to his childhood. 

Whilst the end of the 2024 F1 season closed a 12-year stint racing for the Silver Arrows, Hamilton's association with the German manufacturer dates back to his karting career. 

Six of his seven drivers' titles were claimed racing for Mercedes, a period where eight constructors' championshops were also won. 

Hamilton and Mercedes formed the most successful partnership in F1 history, one which the 40-year-old will not forget. 

In addition, 84 if his 105 career victories were also achieved racing for the Brackley-based outfit, further illustrating the success he enjoyed ahead of becoming a Ferrari driver. 

Speaking at the 2024 season finale in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton detailed what his abiding memories of Mercedes will be.

"I think it's the smiles, when we've had the success," said Hamilton. "I think it's those moments.

"I remember one particular engineer, for example, I remember our first win in Australia in 2014, I think it was Australia, and I just remember him being in tears when we were on the podium. It's those moments that I take with me. 

"It's the emotions that we had in Silverstone this year. It's all the good bits. Naturally, you mostly remember the good bits. 

"And I think it's just the... I'm just incredibly proud, but also just so grateful to every single individual, both that are here at the track, but also back at the factory that have just worked tirelessly and, you know, been supporting me for all these years from day one."
