He won seven World Championship titles in a Mercedes-Benz-powered car – the first in 2008 with the McLaren-Mercedes MP4-23 and six more with Silver Arrows.
Now Hamilton and the team are parting ways, and the Mercedes-Benz Museum is celebrating the legendary champion with a very special presentation. Through to 6 January 2025, six of his title winning vehicles will be on display in the Great Hall on the entrance level. Entry to the Great Hall is free of charge.

The guests from the company, motorsport and the team honoured the champion for his outstanding unbeaten achievements in motor racing and for the brand, and for fairness, diversity and inclusion.
Besides the special Formula 1® presentation, Lewis Hamilton also visited the new “Pit Stop” hands-on station in Legends Room 7: Silver Arrows – Races and Records and immortalized himself there with his signature. This recently installed interactive station is thrilling Museum visitors. They can measure themselves against the record for the fastest pit stop, which currently stands at 1.8 seconds.
