Lewis Hamilton’s X44 team has announced that it will not be participating in Extreme E this year, ending its three-year tenure in the all-electric off-road category. The team’s decision was not influenced by Hamilton’s recent move to Ferrari. The team’s participation for this year was uncertain when Rodin, the team’s partner, did not mention Extreme E in its plans for 2024. X44, which was previously run by Carlin, expressed gratitude to its drivers and teammates and highlighted its accomplishments in the series. X44 is the second-most successful team in Extreme E, with three event wins, a qualifying sweep in 2021, and a championship title in 2022. Although the team will not compete this season, it is open to returning when the series transitions to hydrogen fuel cell cars next year.
