• Mercedes driver says he remains unfazed by 'people talking shit'
• Seven-time champion has 10 points going into of Chinese GP

Lewis Hamilton has insisted his decision to join Ferrari in 2025 does not need any vindication, as he bemoaned the continued discussion over whether it is the right choice.

Before the start of the 2024 Formula One season, the 39-year-old shocked his Mercedes team by announcing he would be switching at the end of this year. The team's slump is now entering its third year and they remain far from the leaders, Red Bull, and have also been outpaced by Ferrari this season. Hamilton is enduring the worst start of his career, without a finish in the top six and having scored only 10 points.
