Hamilton vows: I'll always be a Mercedes driver

Lewis Hamilton has vowed to "always be a Mercedes driver" in a message of loyalty to his team.

The seven-time World Champion is now into his 10th season with the outfit, having first joined them back in 2013. Prior to that, he also worked with the manufacturer during his McLaren days, as they provided engines for the Woking-based squad.

Since partnering with the Silver Arrows as a team, Hamilton has won six Drivers' titles, and has helped Mercedes to secure eight consecutive Constructors' Championships.

The team have faced a challenging start to the 2022 season, but this has not deterred Hamilton from speaking about the special relationship he shares with them.
