Mercedes’ decline in performance over the past few seasons has prompted Hamilton to end his long-term association with the team, having been with them since 2013 and driven Mercedes-powered cars all of his F1 career to date.

Although he does have two race victories under his belt at Silverstone and Spa, the 39-year-old's final season at Mercedes has been one of mixed fortunes and he will surely be eyeing greater success in red next campaign.

Thoughts of next season will be at the back of Hamilton's mind as he heads to Brazil this weekend, however, in what could be argued as somewhat of a second 'home' race for the Mercedes star.

Hamilton was made an honorary citizen of Brazil in 2022 and is adored by the fans whenever he races in Sao Paulo.

To capitalise on that excitement, Mercedes have confirmed a special Hamilton release just for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
