After joining Mercedes, Hamilton has dominated the sport and even became a seven-time world champion, a feat only achieved by great Michael Schumacher before Lewis. However, the current seven-time world champion cannot fight for his record-breaking eighth championship with the new W13.

Honestly… I can't think of a single person who would be unhappy with Lewis driving for Ferrari at some point.

Honesty few years ago would have been a great move for all the F1 for various reasons.
Right now it just doesn't make sense for both of them.— Marco (@Mad24787) April 30, 2022
In place of who? The #1 LeClerc who's the title fav? Or the (semi) struggling Sainz who just signed the extension?

It would be the most beautiful way for him to close his career, but I cannot see an opening there.

Hamilton doesn’t want F1 to lose the Monaco GP
F1 announced the addition of another new race next season, the Las Vegas GP. Further, Miami GP will be joining the F1 schedule this season. However, this has also raised concerns about losing traditional races like France and Monaco. This year might be the last appearance for these two races as their contract will expire.

The seven-time world champion also stated that losing the circuit around the principality would be a massive loss for the sport. Monaco GP is part of the ‘Triple Crown of Motorsport’ alongside the Indianapolis 500 and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Hamilton reported about losing the Monaco circuit, “It’s one of the crown jewels of our sport. So I’m not really sure it would be great to lose it. There are good bits… I guess that the difficult part is that the racing itself is not that spectacular.”
