Lewis Hamilton Rejects Ferrari Rumour in New Statement
Hamilton said he never asked for staff changes and praised Ferrari workers after reports of strained relations and tense radio exchanges over strategy.
Lewis Hamilton denied on Thursday that he requested changes to Ferrari's trackside staff, explicitly stating he has "never asked" for any team member to be replaced.
Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported Tuesday that Hamilton wanted staff changes and alleged a strained relationship with Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur.
Hamilton's retirement at the Spanish Grand Prix left him 101 points behind standings leader Kimi Antonelli; he previously questioned team strategy over the radio at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Posting on Instagram, Hamilton shared a photo with Ferrari staff to signal unity, praising their dedication and writing that he works to empower others.
Despite recent challenges, Hamilton remains committed to his 2026 campaign after securing his first win with Ferrari in Barcelona, continuing to push for title contention.
