Fred Vasseur insists Ferrari have not offered F1 contract to Lewis Hamilton but ‘every team would want him’
Earlier this week, the Daily Mail reported that Ferrari were preparing a staggering £40m contr🦩act offer to try and lure seve🌸n-time world champion Hamilton away from Mercedes.
Hamilton’s curr🏅ent deal runs out at the end of the season and with no extension finalised as yet, speculation has been r🐠ife over where the 38-year-old’s future lies.
But speaking ahead of this weekend🔯’s Monaco Grand Prix, Ferrari team principal Vasseur shut down the rumours.
"As a joke I could say that two weeks ago you were sending Sainz to Audi, one week a﷽go you sent Leclerꦰc to Mercedes - now I am alone," 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. We didn't have discus♔sions.
Vasseur, who worked with Hamil🃏ton during his title-winning GP2 campaign in 2006, admitted♐ every team on the grid would be interested in the Briton’s services.
“I think every single team on t🔜he grid would like to have Hamilton at one stage, it would be bull**** to not say something like this,” he added.
"If I discuss with Hamilton, the last 20 years I discussed almost every single weekeꦰnd with Hamilton, I don't want to have to stop to discuss with him because you are chasing me."
