The 35-year-old Briton has won five of his
titles with the dominant Mercedes factory team, while his first
in 2008 came with McLaren when they were partnered and powered
by the German marque.
Hamilton is out of contract at the end of 2020 and had been
linked in media speculation to Ferrari before the COVID-19
pandemic threw everything in the air, with the season yet to
start and 2021 rule changes delayed to 2022.
After the Sun newspaper suggested in a headline that his dreams
of a "mega money Ferrari move" had been dashed with four times
champion Sebastian Vettel set to stay, Hamilton replied on
Instagram.
"First off, there is no dream of a dash to another team. I am
with my dream team," he said in a comment that has since
disappeared.
"Second, there's not a thing in my way as I’m not trying to
move. I’m with the people who have cared from day 1. We are the
best team! @mercedesamgf1."
Mercedes have won the last six drivers and constructors' titles
and one more for Hamilton would equal Michael Schumacher's
record seven.
The Formula One season has yet to start, however, while Ferrari
have said German Vettel is their first choice to partner
Moneqasque youngster Charles Leclerc next year.
Vettel, also out of contract at the end of 2020, told reporters
last week that he could have a new deal done before the season
starts.
Leclerc has a contract to the end of 2024.
