Lewis Hamilton has firmly denied media speculation suggesting unrest at Ferrari and a possible departure for team boss Fred Vasseur, calling the reports “nonsense” and urging journalists to “stop making stuff up.”Speaking ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion insisted he’s committed to Ferrari for the long term and fully supports Vasseur, who he credits as the main reason he joined the team.“I’m here for several years. I believe in Fred and I’m here to win with him,” Hamilton said, dismissing suggestions of internal friction after a slow start to the season.

Ferrari trails McLaren by 197 points in the Constructors' Championship after nine races, and neither Hamilton nor teammate Charles Leclerc has secured a win. Despite that, Hamilton remains confident in the team’s direction and leadership.

Carlos Sainz, the driver Hamilton replaced, also defended Vasseur, blaming the media for creating unnecessary drama. Though he acknowledged the tough transition, Sainz said he holds no grudge against Ferrari or Vasseur, adding, “We’ve made peace.”
