He is one of the largest Formula 1 drivers in sports history. However, Lewis Hamilton with Ferrari is in a crisis – and now comments on rumors about an alleged end of career.

Lewis Hamilton is a seven-time Formula 1 world champion and wanted to attack the top with Ferrari. However, the reality looks different before the Grand Prix of Canada (on Sunday from 8 p.m. in the T-Online Live ticker). Because the Briton is only in sixth place in the World Cup driver classification. The list is led by the McLaren pilot Oscar Piatri and Lando Norris.

However, Hamilton does not think of quitting-the 40-year-old has decidedly rejected speculation about an soon end of his career. Before the race in Montreal, the Ferrari driver said that he had heard of rumors. But these are baseless: “I noticed that I supposedly stop. I just just started at Ferrari.”

The 40-year-old emphasized that it was not an option for him to simply delete the sails. “It will not happen that I will give up,” said Hamilton clearly. In the direction of the media reports from Italy, he also expressed criticism: “To certain people: stop thinking you like such stories.”

Hamilton switched from Mercedes to Scuderia in winter. However, the beginning of his time at Ferrari is bumpy. With a victory in the sprint in China, he won a respectable success, but, as already mentioned, he lags behind in the overall ranking of the driver’s World Cup. Hamilton still made it clear that he is planning in the long term with Ferrari: “I’m here for several years.” There are no doubts about his decision, he said.
