Lewis Hamilton Reacts To Report Of Planned Ferrari Move

British racing driver, Lewis Hamilton, says he is "not trying to move" away from his Mercedes team in this year's driver market.

Allnews reports that the 35-year-old was responding to a report that his hopes of a move to Ferrari had been hampered by signs that Sebastian Vettel was moving towards a contract renewal with the Italian team

The world champion is one of a number of top drivers whose contracts expire at the end of a 2020 season thrown into disarray by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Hamilton said on Instagram recently: "There is no dream of another team. I am with my dream team.

"There's not a thing in my way, as I'm not trying to move.

"I'm with the people who have cared from day one."

Furthermore, Hamilton described Mercedes as "the best team".

The 2020 season remains in doubt as a result of the first nine races being postponed or cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, Formula 1 (F1) bosses are hopeful they can start the season in the summer, with some races behind closed doors in Europe, before completing the season further afield.

F1 is emphasising that the original calendar has effectively been consigned to the bin and they are having to start a new schedule from scratch.
