Carlos Sainz will be impressed given he has a contract for 2024! :shock:

Asked directly whether Ferrari had been in touch, Hamilton said: "No."

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur said: "You know perfectly that at this stage of the season each week you will have a different story and we are not sending an offer to Lewis Hamilton. We didn't do it.

So all of the rubbish about Hamilton and Ferrari was just that - rubbish. Bored journos tasked with writing clickbait nonsense becasue there's nothing real happening at the time. :roll:

Sadly that seems to be what the vast majority of F1 related journalism is now!

Action on track is poor, the championships are basically over, so what do you expect? Off track drama or ridiculously overhyped upgrade packages are the only thing that can be spun to garner some interest

I enjoy the technical side of the sport, but since Liberty took over, Liberty and the FIA seem to dumb the sport down every chance they get. Imo, the cost cap is just one of their failed attempts to generate as much fake drama as possible to pull in as many new lowbrow fans as possible!

I think that there is sadly, or worryingly, a possibility that the rumors are true but Fred also being honest -- that perhaps upper board management has indeed approached Lewis, with no information being handed down to Fred about it.

I don't buy that at all. Lewis and Toto are quite clear that they are just thrashing out the stuff about media involvement and PR stuff in Lewis's contract. The big ticket stuff has already been agreed.

I think it's a great idea to increase the price of Alfa Romeo and then sell it to Audi! :lol:
Red Bull are the most cost efficient team in F1. They built 1 second advantage over the field by spending a meagre 400K USD! That's something.

Possibly the only way Ferrari's drivers will pass a Merc driver... :wink: :lol:
