Lewis Hamilton Lashes Out at “Bored” Person Who Started the $49,000,000 Ferrari Speculations as He Gives Update on Mercedes Contract

Sebastian Vettel said, if you ask the guys at Mercedes, they are Ferrari fans. Perhaps a few years later, the media took it very, very seriously. As Lewis Hamilton began bashing his own team for not listening to him and has not yet extended his contract, some wondered if he was looking for greener and, in our case, redder pastures. While Hamilton has taken this lightly up until now, on Thursday he bashed the media.

It was reported by the DailyMail that Ferrari is drafting up a $49,000,000 worth contract to woo the 7x world champion. While both parties have denied this rumor, Lewis addressed the conjectures again and this time pointed fingers at the person who started it. Also addressing that he is almost done with Mercedes negotiations.

As quoted by Formula Passion, Lewis said, “There is a person in this room who wrote them because I think he got bored last weekend and decided to write them. We are almost at the end of the negotiations with Toto, and luckily I have a team to take care of this, whereas in the past I made les by myself.” [Translated using Google]

While it was already declared by many that Lewis’s loyalty will stop him from jumping ships, especially at a time when his team needs him, the man had now gone on to highlight that he also stated Ferrari isn’t looking for him.

Lewis said, “The current situation at Mercedes does not affect those that it could be my decisions – he added – we have not lost so much, but we have only made wrong decisions, and now we are working to change direction. The team has worked a lot since Bahrain for the updates, and the cancellation of Imola was a disappointment because it didn’t allow me to test them. My team is in discussions with Mercedes for the contract, but Ferrari hasn’t looked for me.” [Translated using Google]
