In recent days, the possibility that Ferrari try to sign Lewis hamilton to share a team with Charles Leclerc. This is what he assuredDaily Mail’, and later, ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’ continued to feed on this possibility. But the main characters denied it. Frédéric Vasseur, head of Ferrari, clarified that “we have not made any offer for Hamilton”. and himself Lewis: “This is speculation. My team (Mercedes) is working to define the negotiations on the new contract and we are close.”
However, Charles Leclerc, whose name also appears to be the star of a swap with Hamilton (another rumour), preferred to make a joke of it and when asked at a press conference in Monaco this Thursday about what to expect he from a colleague, He He took advantage of the fact that Lewis was with him on the sofa to joke with him. He paused for a few seconds, looked to the side, smiled and said: “Hello Lewis!”
“What can I expect? I mean, a fast teammate, like everyone else. We’re in Formula 1 and we want to fight the best. But that doesn’t mean my teammate isn’t fast. Carlos (Sainz) is a very fast driver. But I’m not the one making the decisions.” commented.
And then they asked him if he would welcome Hamilton to Ferrari. “If I said ‘yes’, I thought it would be in the headlines of all the papers. But… Lewis is an incredible driver… He has achieved a lot in sport. So I think anyone on the grid would love to have Lewis as a teammate because everyone will learn a lot from him. But again, I’m happy where I am and with Carlos (Sainz). We also have a good relationship.”added Leclerc, who confirmed that negotiations for his renewal at Ferrari have not yet begun, where his contract expires in 2024, like Sainz.
“No talks have started about my extension. I talk regularly with John (Elkann) about the season and the vision for the future. But not yet about my contract. There is still a year and a half left until when my contract ends, so we still have a lot of time”finished
