168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc was reportedly “shocked and disappointed” to discover that Ferrari had signed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to be his new F1 teammate.

Seven-time world champion Hamilt🐲on will make the bombshell switch from๊ Mercedes to Ferrari next season after activating an exit clause in his current contract.

The move shocke𝄹d the F1 world and a✃ccording to Italian publication , blindsided Leclerc and his inner circle.

The newspaper claims Leclerc and his management were “shocked and disappointed by Ferrari’s decision”, which, at the time of signing his rece♓nt bumper contract extension, the Monegasque “did not imagine was going to happen”.

Corriere’s report, which adds Leclerc remained quiet on the matter as to not ‘reveal a weakness’, contradicts earlier suggestions in Italian me🗹dia that he was welcoꦉming of the news of Hamilton’s impeding arrival.

Some publications even suggested that Leclerc was one of the few people who was aware that Ferrari were in talks with Hamilton, and was relishing the prospect of testing himself against F1’s most su🥃ccessful driver.

Last May, Leclerc was asked about speculation that Hamilton could be ✅on the move to Ferrari.

“Hello Lewis,” he responded, laughing as he turned to Hamil꧙ton who was sat next to him in a press conference.

He added: “Lewis is such an incredible driver, has achi꧋eved so much in the sport. So I thiℱnk anybody on the grid would love to have Lewis as a teammate.”

Hamilton will replace Leclerc’s current teammate, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, when he makes the move to Maranello next year.

The 39-year-old Briton is set to earn a whoꦫpping $100m per year as part of his new Ferrari deal, according to Formu1a.uno.

That would make Hamilton one of the highest-p💯aid drivers in Ferrari’s history.

Hamilton said joining F1’s most famous and successful team will see him realise a “childhood dre🅷am” of “driving in Ferrar😼i red”.
