F1’s most famous team are willing to offer Hamilton a £40m contract as thꦆe Italian outfit attempt to lure the seven-time world champion away from Mercedes, according to the . 

It has been claimed that conversations are “advancing at the highest level in Ferrari” with company president John Elkann “alre✤ady in close contact with Hamilton”.

The report goes on to say that Ferrari ideally want Hamilton to partner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, which would mean releasing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz from his contract a year early. 

Alternatively, Ferrari would reportedly be willing to allow Leclerc to head in the opposite direction in orꦦder to land Hamilton. 

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff recently admitted Leclerc is o🎃n his “radar” amid uncertainty over Hamilton’s future with the team. 

Hamilton’s Mercedes contract expires at the end𝔍 of the curre♚nt season but the 38-year-old is yet to put pen to paper on a fresh deal, despite both sides repeatedly insisting that an extension is a formality. 

Speaking at the♉ Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Hamilton stressed that he๊ sees Mercedes as his home. 

"I'd be lying if I said I'd never thought about ♌ending my career anywhere else," Hamilton told ESPN. "I started at McLaren, I'd like to think I'll always be a part of the McLaren family. I started there when I was 13 years old [as a junior driver], so I thought about what it would look like if I was at McLaren one day.

"I thought about and watched the Ferrari drivers on the screens at the track and of course you wonder what it would be like to be in red... But then I go to my team, to M🦄ercedes, and this is my h🦩ome. I'm happy where I am. I haven't signed a contract yet, but we are working on one.”

Meanwhile, Wolff insisted a new deal will “eventually” be signe🌟d between the two parties.&ܫnbsp;

“It’s been 11 years that we’ve been together and every single t꧋ime wh෴en we talk about Lewis’ contract, it’s six months of where are we and what is happening?” Wolff said. 

“And we keep saying the same thin♓g, that we are just rolling on. It’s not any difficult contract negotiations. It’s just putting a few differenꦺt numbers in there. That’s what we do. 

“We are working o🍰n this. It’s a work in progress, bouncing emails back and foꦉrth and eventually we are going to sign it.”

It has been suggested that Hamilton’s decision may be swayed by the success of Mercedes’ long-awaited upgrades𒅌 which will debut at this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix.

Hamilton is determined to win a record-breaking eighth drivers’ crown before he retires but ✃Mercedes have failed to provide him with front-running machinery since he controversially missed out on the 2021 world title, with his last victory coming at that year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
