1 years ago By Sports Desk

The X44 team, led by seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, surprised the motorsport world by suddenly announcing the end of its participation in Extreme. With a message of thanks to drivers Christina, Fraser and Sebi and the entire talented team, the X44 is proud not only of its results on the track, but also of its contribution to the broader conversation about sustainability in motorsport. Ta.

The decision to retire from competitive racing in 2024 was unexpected but particularly in recognition of the legacy Hamilton will leave on the Racing for All program as team owner. The program emphasizes the elements of equality, diversity and inclusion. The basics that X44 considers essential to an extreme E ride.

Beyond the competition, X44 is committed to continuing to support his Extreme E series with exciting developments from the stands. The team’s withdrawal from competition has raised questions about the reasons for the sudden decision, leaving fans and observers wondering about the future direction of the team and its founder Lewis Hamilton in the world of motorsport.

The X44 was joined by Chip Ganassi Racing, who are on their way out of Extreme E and shared their gratitude for the opportunity to compete in the innovative off-road series. The American team is interested in seeing Extreme E continue to grow, especially as he transitions to hydrogen-powered off-road vehicles in 2025.

The news of X44 and Chip Ganassi Racing’s departure marked a major change in the Extreme E landscape during the offseason.

This new team will be joined by DTM champion Timo Scheider and his talented rallycross driver Clara Andersson.

X44’s decision to cease operations in 2024 will create a void in the off-road category, where the team has played a key role since the competition began. As Extreme E prepares for an exciting and transformative season, it will be remembered for a tradition built on continued discussion, engagement and equality. The fallout from Hamilton and his X44’s departure will no doubt be a topic of much conversation in the automotive world in the coming weeks.
