For weeks now, Ferrari’s mega $49 million offer to Lewis Hamilton has ruled the headlines. The Brit has put his future in question by stalling his contract extension with Mercedes. However, the Brit has remained adamant he will renew once the kinks of the contract are worked out. Despite these revelations, many have speculated on the current Mercedes man jumping ship and joining the Italian outfit. However, Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur had to use his sly wit to debunk these lingering rumors about Hamilton.

These rumors have divided opinion in the world of F1 with those who agree vs those who think its impossible. However, before the discussion grows further, Vasseur, during the Monaco GP press conference, debunked these rumors once and for all. Formula Passion quoted the Frenchman’s wit, which he used to discredit the rumors.

“I think every single team on the starting grid would like to have Hamilton at some point, it would be bull**it not to say such a thing.” he said. (Translated by Google)

“I could jokingly say that two weeks ago you were sending Carlos Sainz at Audi. A week ago you sent Charles Leclerc to Mercedes. In fact, I’m alone now. You know perfectly well that at this stage of the season, there will be a different story every week, but we are not sending Lewis Hamilton any kind of offer, and we have not,” Vasseur added.

He said, “When you are negotiating there are always speculations, and they remain so until you hear specific statements from me. There is a person in this room who wrote them because I think he got bored last weekend and decided to write them. We are almost at the end of the negotiations with Toto.”
