One of the early questions being posed following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s shock F1 switch from Mercedes to Ferrari is who might 𓃲go with him?

An obvious candidate to follow Hamilton to Maranello for 2025 is the seven-time world champion’s long-time race engineer, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Peter ‘Bono’ Bonnington.

‘Bono’ has been a key mem♚ber of Hamilton’s inner circle and the pair have formed a seemingly unbreakable bond during their decade-long stint working together at Mercedes.

As a crucial part of Hamilton’s success at Mercedes, will ‘Bono’ follow Hamilton across to hel🔯p ease the transition into life at Ferrari?

That very question was put to Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff when he addressed media including on Friday morning as the🀅 dust began to settle on Hamilton’s bombshell.

"This is a discussion which everyonဣe needs to have in the months to come,” Wolff responded.

"As much as I have spoken with Bono already, when I told him [Hamilton's decision], 𝓰he said, 'Is it April 1?'. That’s something we will discuss in the future.”

After signing his two♐-year contract extension with Mercedes last summer, Hamilton said ‘Bono’ would be “stuck” with him.

“Yes, Bono is stuck! I’m very fortunate,” Hamilton said at the time. “Aga♍in, that’s history, as well.

“I don’t think there’s e𒈔ver been an engineer and driver pa🔜iring for this long. We’re setting records.”

Hamilton is set to be reunited with French en༒gineer Loic Serra, who Ferrari poached from Mercedes, an♍d Fred Vasseur, who was in charge of ART Grand Prix when the Briton won the GP2 title in 2006.

“I have no doubt that Fred will be able t💫o have a very good relationship with Lewis as his boss, no doubt about that,” Wolff added.

“They have known each other for more than 20 years, he has raced in ART and Fred understands racing driver🦩s’ minds and✨ he does things very differently to me, but his track record is very successful.”
