Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has shrugged off whispers about his retirement. The 40-year-old British racing icon, now at Ferrari, confirmed, "Contrary to the rumors, I'm not ready to hang up my racing gloves just yet. After all, I'm new to Ferrari!" He emphasized his determination, exclaiming, "I'm not walking away. I'm here to stay and compete!"
Italian media outlets, in a flurry, have been speculating about Hamilton's eighth world title. However, this talented racer is feeling strong and focused, eager to prove his mettle.
Heated Reply to Media Reports
Hamilton wasn't shy about calling out Italian reports about a potential team principal shake-up involving Frédéric Vasseur. "To the select few: Stop spreading falsehoods!" he said, referring to the rumors causing a stir in the Grand Prix world.
Hamilton staunchly supports Vasseur, stating, "Fred has my full backing. He's the main reason I chose Ferrari." While performances haven't been outstanding for the duo this season, Hamilton fears that swapping out Vasseur could jeopardize the entire team structure at Ferrari.
"Changing leaders midstream would pose significant challenges," warned Hamilton. "Remember, it takes time for key personnel to adapt to new positions. I have faith in Fred," he added, assuring that he's in it for the long haul with Ferrari.
The Real Story at Ferrari
Recent reports have highlighted Ferrari's struggles, with Hamilton securing only one sprint race win in China. However, his teammate, Charles Leclerc, fared better with three podium finishes. Alongside the troubles with Hamilton's performance, critical voices have suggested that his legacy at Mercedes might be affecting his adaptation to Ferrari. But Hamilton remains solid in his resolve, ready to conquer new frontiers at Ferrari.
