Lewis Hamilton would be Charles Leclerc's preferred team-mate at Mercedes if he were to quit Ferrari for the Silver Arrows, it has been claimed.
Leclerc's deal with the Scuderia expires at the end of next year, leading to speculation over his future. The Monegasque has admitted that contract renewal talks with Ferrari are yet to begin, which has only heightened the intrigue over what his Formula 1 future might hold.
Mercedes are the team that Leclerc has been most consistently linked with. George Russell is tied down to a multi-year deal with the Silver Arrows, while Hamilton is expected to sign an extension to keep him with the team beyond the end of this season.
