Rumours suggesting Lewis Hamilton could switch to Ferrari may be powered by the money, according to key rival Red Bull’s top Austrian official Dr Helmut Marko. “I think it’s just a rumour,” former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher told Sky Deutschland. “Hamilton is very happy where he is right now,” he added, referring to Mercedes. “And even Ferrari is a bigger question mark at the moment.”. He also questions whether Mercedes boss Toto Wolff would be keen on swapping out Hamilton for Ferrari’s reportedly disgruntled Charles Leclerc. That’s why I don’t think Ferrari as an alternative makes sense.”. Red Bull’s Marko agrees – and he thinks he knows what is powering the Ferrari rumours. But, like Schumacher, Marko also thinks there is a financial incentive behind the Hamilton rumours. “At least he could change that with Ferrari’s help.”.
