English media say that the Italian brand is determined to sign the sevenfold champion of the highest category of world motorsport. The seven-time Formula 1 champion ends his contract with the German marque this season and there still seems to be no indication of a possible renewal.

The first option is to pair Charles Leclerc with Lewis Hamilton. The other alternative would be an exchange between Hamilton and Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, and, on the other, Leclarc and Russel at Mercedes.
