Lewis Hamilton: Ferrari "is not my goal"
F1 News
Lewis Hamilton says that he is not targeting a move to Ferrari at the end of his career, saying that he is not prepared to give up all the hard work he has done with Mercedes.
Hamilton has driven Mercedes powered cars for his entire career, firstly with McLaren before his move to the Silver Arrows for 2013.
The Brit is set for his sixth title this season, putting just one from the record set by Michael Schumacher, and he seems unlikely to move to Ferrari when Mercedes are the strongest team at present.
He told Blick: "For many Ferrari is the last dream of a career. I do not like that.
"Since I was 13 years old, I have belonged to the Mercedes family. That will hardly change."
Hamilton also added that a move to Ferrari was not something he was thinking about, adding: "Not really. Although I have no doubt that I could also change some things for the better there. But that is not my goal.
"It took six years to make Mercedes a winning team and keep it at the top. Now we have an atmosphere full of love, appreciation, admiration and respect. You do not just give that up."
