There was no offer to the British, explained Frederic Vasseur in a media session in the paddock of the Monaco Grand Prix on Thursday. “We’re not sending Lewis Hamilton an offer. We didn’t do it.”

At this point in the season, there is a change story every week, Vasseur also said. A little later, Hamilton said in the official press conference when asked whether there had been an offer from Ferrari: “No.”

The English newspaper “Daily Mail” recently reported that Ferrari would soon offer Hamilton a contract with a salary of around 46 million euros for the coming season and designed various scenarios. Including even an exchange of the 38-year-old with Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc. Two weeks ago Carlos Sainz was written to Audi, a week ago Leclerc to Mercedes. “Now I’m on my own,” Vasseur joked.

Perhaps someone got bored after the race in Imola was canceled a week ago, said Hamilton, visibly amused. He had repeatedly emphasized that he saw his future with the German factory team. And also on Thursday, he reiterated that the former industry leader’s current low will not affect his decision. His current contract expires after this season. His team is working closely behind the scenes with Mercedes team boss and motorsport boss Toto Wolff on a new one. He no longer does it like he used to, so he can concentrate better on racing, Hamilton explained.

Vasseur assured that he would not stop talking to Hamilton. The two have known each other for a long time. And the Ferrari team boss also said: “I think every team on the grid would like Hamiton at some point, it would be nonsense not to say that.”
