Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur has spoken about his relationship with Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton as Formula One waits for the seven-times world champion to sign a new contract with the Silver Arrows.<\/p>\n
Hamilton won Formula Three and GP2 (now Formula Two) championships with Vasseur’s ART team in 2005 and 2006 before making a Formula One debut with McLaren in 2007.<\/p>\n
“I talk to him at every race, he raced for me 20 years ago and we are still close,” Vasseur, who joined Ferrari in January, told Gazzetta dello Sport.<\/p>\n
“Clearly, if they (the media) see us together in the paddock, there’s a lot of fuss, but the relationship has remained. I don’t want to compare him to our drivers, it wouldn’t make sense.”<\/p>\n
Hamilton, 38, was linked to Ferrari in paddock speculation earlier this year but the Briton has been clear he wants to stay at Mercedes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
