F1’s most famous team are willing to offer Hamilton a £40m contract as the 💧Italian outfit attempt to lure the seven-time world champ📖ion 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 “alreꦕady in cꦯlose contact with Hamilton”.

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

Alternatively, Ferrari would reportedly be willing to allow Leclerc to head in the opposite dir💙ection in order to land Hamilton. 

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff recently admitted Leclerc is on his “radar” amid unce💙rtainty over Hamilton’s future with the team. 

Hamilton’s Mercedes contract expires at the end of 🍸the current 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 stres🦩sed th♛at he 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 Mercedes, and this is my home. I'm happy where I am. I haven't signed a contract yet, but we are working♚ on one.”

Meanwhile, Wolff insisted a ꦛnew deal will “eventually” be sig🙈ned between the two parties. 

“It’s been 11 years that we’ve been together and every single time when we talk about Lewis’ contract, it’s six months of where are we and what is h𒈔appening?” Wolff said. 

“And we keep saying the same thing, that we are just rolling on. It’s not any difficult൩ contract neg🅺otiations. It’s just putting a few different numbers in there. That’s what we do. 

“We are working on this. It’s a work ♌in progress, bouncing emails baﷺck and forth 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-a🧔waited upgrad♏es 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 p♉rovide 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.
