F1 fans are divided over Ferrari's decision to sign Lewis Hamilton amid his challenging opening half to the campaign.
Hamilton has scored a consistent run of points in the opening 13 rounds but has been unable to break into the top three with a podium finish in a grand prix.
The seven-time champion has largely been out-paced by team-mate Charles Leclerc, who has bagged 30 more points than Hamilton.
The challenges Hamilton has faced behind the wheel at Ferrari have been voiced by the 40-year-old on numerous occasions.
It prompted RacingNews365 to ask you, the fans, if you thought Ferrari's decision to sign Hamilton was a mistake.
The response was a split one, as just under 45 per cent of votes declared Ferrari should have retained Carlos Sainz.
On the other side of the vote, almost 47 per cent of people believe Ferrari made the right decision to poach Hamilton from Mercedes.
