P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The seven-time Formula 1 World Champion has elected to not continue his involvement with this series, after taking the title in 2022.
After winning the title in 2022, Lewis Hamilton has withdrawn his X44 team from the Extreme E championship before the 2024 season. The team, founded in 2020, took part in the series to raise awareness about climate change through off-road races with electric SUVs. X44 competed against teams owned by Nico Rosberg, Andretti, and Chip Ganassi in the first season. They achieved a second-place finish in their debut year and won the championship the following year. However, a poor performance in 2023 led to a fourth-place finish in the standings, prompting their decision not to return for the fourth season. Although they won’t be competing, X44 will still support the series and keep an eye on the developments at Extreme H.
