Recently, there were rumors in the British press that Ferrari president John Elkann is personally interested in inviting Lewis Hamilton to the team. The seven-time world champion is reportedly being offered a contract of $ 50 million per year.
Among those commenting on these rumors was Red Bull motorsport adviser Helmut Marko. According to the Austrian, it makes no sense from a sporting point of view for Lewis to move to Maranello, but the financial side of the proposal looks attractive.
Helmut Marko «There are two things that irritate Hamilton a lot. Firstly, he is no longer a world champion and it will be difficult for him to become one in the future. He knows there is no place for him at Red Bull. And it is not known whether he will be better in Ferrari than in Mercedes from a sporting point of view.
Sports aside, Lewis is not at all happy that he is no longer the highest paid Formula 1 driver, now that is Max Verstappen. At least Lewis could have changed that with a Ferrari.”
