Ferrari wants to get out of the crisis by offering Lewis Hamilton 46 million for one year

Lewis Hamilton's renewal process with Mercedes is ongoing and the negotiations are not easy. The first rumors have already emerged, whether interested or not. According to the Daily Mail, Hamilton have received an impressive €46million offer for a season next year.

This offer would come from Ferrari, no other team. British media say the Maranello team have entered the race to sign Hamilton, with a dizzying offer that could ultimately affect Spanish driver Carlos Sainz . However, it is still too early to say that Hamilton is heading to Ferrari.

Strategy to reconnect with Mercedes or signature bomb in F1?

According to British media, Ferrari is offering Hamilton £40 million to drive for them in red in 2024. It remains to be seen whether this offer is simply to speed up and make more expensive the renewal of his contract with Mercedes, or if real possibilities exist to see Hamilton behind the wheel of a Ferrari.

Hamilton's contract with Mercedes ends in 2023 and, although he will turn 39 in January, it looks like the British driver is determined to continue his Formula 1 career. a renewal process with Mercedes is underway, given that this already happened in 2021, when he signed shortly before the start of the season.

Based on this information, it is possible to consider an exchange where Charles Leclerc would end up at Mercedes . The relationship between Leclerc and Ferrari seems increasingly strained with each race, and if Leclerc wants to leave Maranello, Mercedes could be one of the best options for him.

However, if Leclerc is unwilling to leave Ferrari, Carlos Sainz could be the big loser. He is widely regarded as the weakest link in the Maranello team, despite scoring the most points in the world championship. The two drivers, Sainz and Leclerc, both have contracts with Ferrari for 2024 , so Hamilton's arrival would force the Cavallino team to terminate one of those two contracts.

Hamilton has been associated with the Mercedes team for eleven seasons now, creating one of the most formidable pairings in Formula 1 history. In the future, Hamilton may consider changing teams so as not to be recognized as one of the few Formula One legends who has never driven for Ferrari .

Currently, this appears to be a strategy to make renewing his contract with Mercedes more expensive , but a possible move from Hamilton to Ferrari could become one of the big stories in Formula 1 in 2023.
