Speculation linking Hamilton to Ferrari is nothin🦩g new, something that Wolff was quick to point out in a ♕recent interview with Austrian outlet.
"These rumours come up every two year🐭s when we have to sign a new contract," Wolff said. "But none of this is true. We discuss normally, without any time pressure.”
Wolf꧙f✅ went on to admit that he feels “uncomfortable” discussing contract terms with Hamilton.
"It's just uncomfortable that two friends, two blood brothers who have been throug💜h thick and thin for ten years, su𒈔ddenly have to discuss money," he explained.
"I'm firmly convinced that we'll find each other, there's not a millimetre of doubt for me. I ca🌞n't imagine anything else. If we give Lewis a competitive car, he will win for a long ⛎time. Look at Tom Brady and what he was still capable of in his 40s.”

"I thought about and watched the Fe🅠rrari 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 hom𝔍e. I'm happy where I am. I haven't signed a contract yet, but we are working on one."
