On Thursday ahead of last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, Mercedes announced contract extensions for both Hamilton and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell, keeping them at the team until the end of 2025.

It brought to an end a raft of speculation about Hamilton’s future - and how long he wo෴uld remain in F1.

Rosberg - who spent four seasons as Hamilton’s teammate at M💃ercedes - thinks it’s only good news for the team - and Toto Wolff - moving forward

“Stability, calmness,” R🍌osberg said on the podcast. “It leads to uncertainty, even if the leadership, if Lewis hasn’t signed yet. It puts stress because what if Lewis prefers to go surfing at the beach? 

“Big problem. It puts 𒅌stress on someone like Toto, who won’t show it because he’s an incredibly good ꧒negotiator and incredibly cold. But it puts stress.”

While Mercedes sit second in the constructors’ championship, they are no closer to challenging Red Bull than they were last sea🐎son.

Rosberg has suggested Mercedes look at Red Bull’s RB🃏19 and take inspiration from it to improve their own perfo⛄rmance.

“Analyse the Red Bull car,” he added. “Christian Horner was telling me that he thinks next year will be closer because everyone will copy their car. That was hღis thought after Monza.

“All teams need to do that, understand what Red Bull is d🍎oing and go down that route, as mu꧋ch as possible. 

“That’s what McLaren did, to some extent, and it worked wonders straight away🅰. All teams will do that. Also, understand what McLaren did to make such a jump, they’ve done an exceptional job.”
