The Briton, like Vettel, is also out of contract at the end of the season. However, many expect the 6 times World Champion to renew his contract with Mercedes for 2021 and beyond. Lewis vented his frustration against baseless rumors via an Instagram story, which read as follows:

Hamilton has no logical reason to switch to a different team. Mercedes has dominated the competition ever since the introduction of the turbo-hybrid era. Furthermore, the German team isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. The Briton has picked up 5 World Championships with the Brackley outfit and is hunting down Michael Schumacher’s legendary record of 7. Furthermore, Mercedes has powered Lewis Hamilton in his entire Formula One career.
As the reigning champion and undoubtedly the best driver on the grid right now, Hamilton’s best bet would be to stay put and chase title number 7.
