Charles Leclerc says he is not in talks with Mercedes “at the moment” about a move to the Brackley based team. Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur freely admits that Leclerc, 25, is “frustrated” about what the driver says was a “disaster” of a start to 2023. Hamilton says it would be no surprise if Wolff was speaking to other drivers. “So it doesn’t have any impact,” Hamilton said when asked about the Leclerc rumours. “No, there is nothing at the moment,” said the Monegasque. As I have already said, I have full confidence and I am confident for the future. “If you look at recent years, all the success stories have been those of a team built around a driver,” said the Frenchman.
