From Lewis Hamilton sharing a post on social media regarding rumors of him asking key Ferrari personnel to be replaced to GPblog's exclusive article on whether Lando Norris would compete at Le Mans next year, GPblog recaps you the best news of the day! Hamilton breaks silence on Ferrari staff shake-up rumors
Earlier this week, Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported that Hamilton would like to see some changes to Ferrari's trackside structure, although no employees were named.
The seven-time world champion took to social media to address the situation. He wrote in an Instagram story, together with a picture of Ferrari crew members: "I've seen some stories that have gone out and I want to clear it up here. I've never asked for anyone on my team to be replaced. Everyone I work with works hard every day, and their dedication is what moves us forward.
"I always try to empower and lift people to be the best versions of themselves or at least see that best in themselves. I may not always achieve that but it's my intention and what I'm here to do. We all work together and that will continue," he concluded.
McLaren makes decision on Norris' participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2027
After the conclusion of the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, where he finished in third place, Norris flew to Portimao to test
McLaren's hypercar.
After the test, there was widespread speculation about when Norris would next drive the Hypercar. Some even suggested that the Briton would take part in the next 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In 2027, Le Mans will not clash with a
Formula 1 weekend, so in theory, Norris could take part, although he would need an exceptional dispensation from the organizers. However,
GPblog could confirm that Norris will definitely not participate in the next edition of this iconic race.
Herta considers return to US as F1 dream slips further away
This website has heard in the paddock that Herta is considering returning to the United States after this season and is eyeing a seat on the IndyCar grid.
The American has had a difficult campaign in Formula 2 so far, and he cannot secure a super license through the series anymore for 2027.
However, there are not many seats left in IndyCar, as only the "smaller" teams have yet to complete their line-ups for next year. The question is whether the American would be willing to drive for such a team as well.
