Ferrari is said to have begun contract talks with Charles Leclerc despite reports of a mega-money offer to tempt Lewis Hamilton to join.
The Brit's future is uncertain with no concrete updates on the progress of renewal talks with Mercedes. Meanwhile, both Ferrari drivers have just 18 months remaining on their respective deals.
A Daily Mail report claimed Ferrari chairman John Elkann has been in close contact with Hamilton over his future in a bid to tempt him away from the Mercedes team he has called his family. A £40m contract will reportedly be offered to the 38-year-old on top of the assertion that he will have a better chance of winning more titles with the Italian outfit.
