Hamilton will not form part of the driver line-up – which must be comprised of one male and one female driver under the series’ regula�ons – but will instead play a founding role in developing the team. Its X44 name is inspired by Hamilton’s F1 race number. “It’s an exci�ng new project and it will be fun to have a different role from being the team driver,” said Hamilton. “What is most appealing though, is that the Extreme E Championship will be not only be raising awareness of some of the most cri�cal environmental issues facing our planet, but also doing something about it through working with local charitable organisa�ons to leave behind no trace and a long-las�ng legacy of change. “Every single one of us has the power to make a difference, and it means so much to me that I can use my love of racing, together with my love for our planet, to have a posi�ve impact.“ FORMULA E’S GEN 3 DEADLINE EXTENDED The FIA has extended its deadline for manufacturers to commit to Formula E for its third rules cycle when it comes into opera�on for the 2022/23 season. Formula E is delaying the commitment period, which means manufacturers are now required to make a decision at board level in June 2021 – as opposed to the previous January 2021 deadline – giving a wider window which will provide more flexibility The change comes a�er mee�ngs between stakeholders in Formula E during the pandemic lockdown period earlier this year.

Ini�al plans for the manufacturer Gen3 cars to be delivered in January 2022 are s�ll fixed, with race car deliveries expected in May 2022 in �me for homologa�on.
