Lewis Hamilton has batted away any rumours l♒inking him with a shock early exit from Ferrari, declaring, “I’m heꦯre for the long haul”.

Speculation has been rife about Ferrari ahead of this weekend’s F1 Canadian Grand Prix.

Team principal Frederic Vasseur has been rumo🍸ured to be under serious pressu๊re to keep his job.

Charl🐷es Leclerc is reportedly losing faith in Ferrari and has an exit clause in his contract that could see him leave the team amid their po🔥or performance.

Hamilton’s lacklustre performances have put hisꦐ ℱfuture in the spotlight.

F1 steward Derek Warwick has ꦬhinted that Hamilton could already co༺ntemplate quitting the sport.

Warwick told Plejmo: “The most important thing on the car is prob🍰ably the steering wheel because there are so many different adjustments you can do to the steering wheel, maybe he hasn’t quite got on top of that.

“Do I want Lewis to win ra🐽ces and challenge for the world championship? Yes. I think he deserves it. I think he deserves t🍒hat eighth world title.

“It’s not go🦹ing to happen this year, and I think if it carries on the way it is at the minute, I suspect he’s alre🍷ady thinking of stopping.”

Hamilton has “zero doubts”

The 🗹start of Hamilton’s Ferrari career hasn’t gone to plan.

He’s shown flashes of brilliance, taking pole and winning the ಌsprint race in Shanghai.

However, overall, he’s been out-paced by tea💟mmate Leclerc.

Leclerc has three podium finishes after ninꩲe rounds, while Hamilton’s best finish came at Imola - fourth.

Despite the poor results, mainly due to Ferrari’s underperforming 2025 challenger, Hamilton has reiterated his desire tꦺo stay committed to Ferrari.

“Also to everyone writing stories about me cons🌊idering not racing,” he added. “💜I have literally just started here with Ferrari. I am here for several years. I am here for the long haul.

“There is no question where my head is at and what I am working towards achieving with this team. There’s zero doubts, so pl♛e💧ase stop making up stuff.”
