Earlier this week there was an astonishing report in the Daily Mail claimi༒ng that Ferrari had offered Hamilton a🧸 £40 million deal to join the team for next year.

With F1 returning to action in Monaco this weeken♉d, media day in the principality has been dominated by this t💙opic.

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur168澳洲5最新开奖结果: rubbished suggestions of an offer from the team to Hamilton, while the seven-time c💛hampion revealed afterwards th🌠at a contract agreement with Mercedes is imminent. 

• Hamilton dismisses Ferrari rumours, 🌊“almost there” with new Mercedes F1 deal

Alonso - who was Hamilton🐎’s teammate famously at McLaren in 2007 - was asked for his opinion on whether he should stay at Mercedes or make the ღswitch to Ferrari.

The Spaniard raced for🐻 Ferrari for five seasons between 2010 and 2014, finishing runner-up to Sebastian Vettel on three occasions.

When giving his response, Alonso amusingly made reference to Hamilton’s mantra of “winning and los꧒ing as a team” suggesting that he should stay put despite their struggles.

“I have no 💧idea, but he always said that he wins and he loses together with the team, so... if he's not💞 winning, he should stay,” Alonso said.

Will Hamilton stay at Mercedes?

It seems very likely that Hamilton will remain with the team which he’s enjoyed the majority of his s𓂃uccess at.

Hamilton has won six of his seven world champion🔜s with Mercedes since joining them at the start of 2013.

Let’s not forget it was a bold decision f🦩rom Hamilton to leave McLaren - who were regularly competing for victories and titles at the time✃, unlike Mercedes.

This time, though, Hamilton has made it clear he want🉐s t▨o stay.

While Mercedes are enduring another difficult😼 spell in terms of on-track performance, their receꦿnt championship-winning success combined with his loyalty and freedom to the team makes it an obvious choice over Ferrari.

No doubt, Hamilton in a Ferrari would be block💯buster for F1, but it doesn’t make sense.
