With both Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris committing their "long-term" futures at Ferrari and McLaren respectively, it's worth taking a look at how long each driver has committed to their team.
Unsurprisingly Lewis Hamilton leads the list having now entered his record 12th season with Mercedes, having agreed a contract extension up until 2025 with the Silver Arrows.
Max Verstappen boasts the longest contract on the F1 grid, with him locked in to Red Bull until 2028. By then he will have been with the team for 13 years, with this being his ninth year.
After being ousted from Haas at the end of the 2019 season, Kevin Magnussen returned to the American team in 2022. He now enters his seventh season in 2024, having been with them since 2017.
Check out the list below.
