One of the leading topics before the Monaco Grand Prix weekend was the information that appeared in the British and Italian media that Ferrari was preparing a generous offer to Lewis Hamilton for the 2024 Formula 1 season.
Of course, the main figures involved in these rumors used yesterday’s media day ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix to comment on the speculation. Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur has flatly denied the Scuderia is preparing an offer for Hamilton, who in turn has made it clear he is close to re-signing with Mercedes.
“Honestly I’m not because I don’t feel the need to do it,” Carlos Sainz told the media after being asked if he had discussed his future with Vasseur. – I know this time of year the rumors start to pop up. A week and a half ago I was sent to Audi, a week ago Charles would go to Mercedes and now Lewis will come to Ferrari.
“This is the story of our lives at this time of year. I’ve been in F1 long enough, over eight years, and I know this time of year is like that. In the past I would read more and try to understand more things. Now I prefer to focus on the weekend in Monaco. I just don’t care what others say, I’m focused on myself,” the Spaniard added.
