The 39-year-old has scored just 10 points from the opening four rounds following his Mercedes team바카라�s misfiring campaign.

Hamilton has failed to finish in the top six so far, and crossed the line a distant ninth at the last round in Japan a fortnight ago.

Hamilton, who is moving to Ferrari next year, was asked if Mercedes바카라� early-season troubles vindicated his decision to quit the team, which carried him to six of his record-equalling seven world championships.

바카라�I don바카라�t feel like I need my decision vindicating,바카라� he said. 바카라�I know what is right for me, and that hasn바카라�t changed from the moment I made the decision.

바카라�There바카라�s not been a moment that I바카라�ve questioned it, and I바카라�m not swayed by other people바카라�s comments.

바카라�Even today, there바카라�s people continuing to talk s***, and that will continue on for the rest of the year.

바카라�I바카라�ll have to just do what I did the previous time (when he moved to Mercedes from McLaren). Only I can know what바카라�s right for me, and this (joining Ferrari) will be an exciting time for me.바카라�

Hamilton, who was speaking ahead of this weekend바카라�s Chinese Grand Prix 바카라� the first staged here since 2019 바카라� was asked what he meant by 바카라�people taking s***바카라�.

바카라�Just read what바카라�s out there,바카라� he replied.

Hamilton will be 40 when he makes his debut for Ferrari in Australia next March.

Fernando Alonso announced last week that he will remain in the sport beyond his 45th birthday after agreeing a contract extension with Aston Martin. The Spaniard, 43 in July, will become the oldest driver of the modern era.

And Hamilton added: 바카라�I바카라�m going to be racing for quite some time still, right into my 40s, so it바카라�s definitely good Fernando is still around and keeps going on for a bit longer.

바카라�I never thought I바카라�d be racing into my 40s. I바카라�m pretty sure I said I wouldn바카라�t. But life is such a crazy trick. I don바카라�t feel like I바카라�m nearing 40. I feel like I바카라�m pretty young.

바카라�It바카라�s a real positive that Fernando is staying because it means I바카라�m not the oldest driver here.

바카라�But also Fernando is one of the best drivers we바카라�ve had in the sport so for him to continue to be here and continue to have the output that he바카라�s had just shows what바카라�s possible.바카라�

Hamilton, who has won a record six times in China, will be back on track on Friday in qualifying for the first sprint round of the season.

In a rejig of the format this year, the grid for Sunday바카라�s main event will now be determined after the 19-lap race which gets under way at 11:00am (4am BST) on Saturday.
