X44 will not compete in 2024 season
Following three seasons in Extreme E and a championship title in 2022, X44 has announced the team will be leaving the championship ahead of the 2024 campaign.
In a statement, X44 said: “After three years as part of the Extreme E family, we’re today announcing that X44 will be departing the series. We’ve had an incredible three seasons competing as X44, winning multiple races and even a world championship.
“Thank you to our drivers Cristina, Fraser and Seb, and all our talented teammates who worked hard to help us achieve everything we did. Even more than the results on track, we’re proud to have been part of a bigger conversation about how to make motorsport more sustainable, of our success in giving people from all kinds of backgrounds an opportunity to thrive in this team, and of the legacy our team owner Lewis will leave behind with the Racing for All programme.
“Although we won’t be competing ourselves in 2024, we’ll be cheering on the series from the sidelines and keeping an eye on the exciting developments at Extreme H.
“Thank you for all your support.”
Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E, said: “We would like to thank Sir Lewis Hamilton and his X44 team for their valued contribution to Extreme E during a successful three seasons in the series.
“They showcased their credentials on-track with some excellent race wins, not to mention their championship success in Season 2, but have also played a key role in implementing initiatives off-track which focus on gender equality, diversity and inclusion, such as the series’ Racing for All programme.
“X44 has been a driving force in increasing diversity and representation in the paddock – an ethos Extreme E has shared since day one – and we wish them well for the future.”
