Lewis Hamiltonജ may have dropped a hint about Ferrari in a private conversation with Tot꧃o Wolff picked up by Netflix’s cameras.

The sixth series of Drive To Survive has been released and is focused on last year🦩, when Hamilton and Mercedes were negotiating a new contract amid their poor 🌱on-track results.

The cameras𒀰 caught Hamilton sitting down in Wolff’s office for a frank and honest chat a൩bout their partnership.

“Last year [2022], the development of the car,” Wolff said to Hamilton. “You weren’t happyဣ wit🐈h me?

“Sticking to the concept, holding onto it because of🐻 the encouraging results at the end…”

Hamilton interrupted: “That was the biggest failureꦛ.”

Wolff agreed: “It was the biggest failure.”

Hamilton: “Because last yea🎃r led us in the wrong… you know…”

Wolff said: “For me, personally, when you see the step that Aston Martin made over the winter… if we get it right with the c♒oncept of the car - the aero and the balance - we can win a championship.

“But I don’t want to wait until 2026 when we have the�🐲� new engine regulations.”

Hamilton then dropped a clue which may have hinted at what was to com𝕴e.

Hami💫lton, then aged 38, told Wolff: “You can be here for 20 more years, 30 more ye☂ars. I can’t!”

Wolff: “Who says that?”

Hamilton said: “Precious years for me. I don’t kno💦w…”

Wolff: “Lewis, you are much more than a racing driver. Much more than a seven-time world champion. You are one of the people 🍌who leads this team forౠward.”

Hamilton did sign⛄ a new two-year Mercedes contract last summer. George Russell also pledged his future to the under-performing team while, this year, Wolff penned new terms to stay as team principal.

But Hamilton stunned F1 - and Wolff - bಞy activating a clause in his new contract, enabling him to go to Ferrari in 2025.

He will spend this year with Mercedes driving the W15 before heading to the famous Ita�🍸�lian brand.

Hamilton g꧋ave an interview, speaking last year, to Netflix’s Drive To Survive: “I have been with Mercedes si🅘nce I was 13. So, perspectives just shift.

“This year my contract is up for renewal.

“My mindset is: we’ve had two difficult years so my goal is to get back on top to ꧅win a world championship again.

“But then we♎ get in the car, in 202♎3, and it’s the evil sister. Yeah…”

Hamilton added 🤡about his struggles: “I can’t remember winning, if I’m honest.

“It’s been a minute. I don’t remember what that🃏 feeling is.

“Wꦰe have to take it on the ch🐲in. Acknowledge that we did not get it right. We took the wrong decisions. Make big strides in the right direction before it’s too late.”

Hamilton told a back-story about the Mercedes engineers ignoring his advice, ꦛto their eventual peril.

He said: “Last year I remember complaining toꦇ the team: ‘Look we need to make these changes or this is the trajectory we’re going to go on, and this is where we will end up, please please do something about it…’

“I remember that day, they said: ‘We know what we are doi🅺ng, you are wrong’.

“That was an interesting moment. I stepped back and didn🍨’t want to step on anybody’s toes.

“Then we spoke again in the season - ‘m🅺aybe y𒁏ou were right…’”

Hamilton, speaking about re-signing with Mercedes last year, said: “Every time you do a contract, you’d be an idiot if you didn’t analyse where you currently are, and what other opportunitiꦡes there are.

“Then you ma꧂ke🍸 a decision - explore other opportunities or continue along with what you’re doing.”

Wolff s✅aid about Hamiton’s new Mercedes contract last year: “I completely understand that Lewis needs to loo🔯k for the best opportunity for himself.

“But whജat we agreed early on was to not talk to anybody else before being open and honest with each ot🌼her.”

Wolff added: “In every relationship you will have moments whe☂re your objectives differ. That’s how life goes.

“In the context of o♑ur relationship, he’s a loyal guy.”

Hamilton said: “Toto and I have a lot in common. We are competitive and hate losing. We’ve had two difficult years but I still have so much faith in Merc🐼edes. You’ve just got to take a leap of faith.

“Toto has listened. There never feels like a t🍸ime where I won’t be a Mercedes driver. It is hom🔯e. It is family.”

Wolff o🃏minously said about Hamilton wearing the red of Ferrari: “It wouldn’t suit him…”

Russell said, speaking las🤡t year🍎: “If he were to leave, it would put Mercedes in a tricky spot because it would look like he has lost faith in the team.”

The release of Netflix’s new Drive To Survive serie✃s coincides with F1 preseason testing in Bahrain for the upcoming 2024 season.

Hamilton is behind the wheel of the W15 - his final Mercedes F1 car - hoping﷽ it brings better fortune than the previous two y𒐪ears.
