Guenther Steiner has poured cold water on the idea that Hamilton could switch to another team in the future. Speaking to The Mail on Sunday, the Italian-American team boss questioned where else Lewis Hamilton could go.
"Where could he go? Honestly, I don’t know," Steiner said. The Haas boss does not think Red Bull would be interested in the services of the seven-time World Champion. "Red Bull have put everything on Max. Max is their man. Why would they now change Max for Lewis?" The two drivers side-by-side would not be an option according to the Netflix star. "When you are the principal or when you’re running a team, you don’t want to entertain you guys. You want to entertain yourself of being World Champion."
Hamilton to Aston martin or Ferrari?
The Brit's contract expires after this season. His contract at Mercedes has still not been renewed. The other teams then, could they be an option? Would Aston martin part with Fernando Alonso, or the boss's son, Lance Stroll? Even that chance is slim. Maybe Ferrari? Charles Leclerc is their future star, and it seems that Carlos Sainz is picking up the pace.
