The famous Italian manufacturers have been linked with try꧑ing to recruit Hamilton when his current Mercedes deal expires at the end of this season.

But 🅠Hamilton remains com♊mitted to Mercedes and is expected to pen a new deal although it hasn’t been signed yet.

♈"I also think Hamilton is quit🔯e smart," ’s Michael Schmidt reported.

"He knows very well, that even if the♓y pay him double in Maranello, things won't go any better there. Ferrari is not ahead of Mercedes as a car.

"And every🔯 problem at Mer🌸cedes would multiply at Ferrari because it is even more in the spotlight."

“I understand he politely replied ‘no thanks’.”

Hamilton is 38 but is exp💛ected to remain in F1 for he foreseeable future in his bid to claim a record eighth F1 championship.
