Lewis Hamilton says move to Ferrari from Mercedes 'doesn't need vindicating' amid irritation at coverage

Lewis Hamilton said his decision to join Ferrari doesn't need 'vindicating' as he criticised 'talk' around his move from Mercedes next season. The seven-time world champion stunned the sporting world in February as he confirmed that 2024 would be his 12th and final season with Mercedes ahead of a move to the Italian team.

'I'm going to be racing well into my forties,' he said. 'So yeah, it's no short-term thing.
