Hamilton left Mercedes at the end of 2024, with his 246th and last race with the team coming at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where he managed to finish fourth despite starting the race down in 16th.

On the whole, however, Hamilton's 2024 season was one of the worst of his illustrious career, finishing down in seventh in the drivers' championship and being outperformed by team-mate George Russell in both qualifying sessions and races.
