“I text him ꦗbefore it, so I knew he was signing, it was a fact. I didn't tell anyone, but I was really shocked by the news.

“But I ܫthink the people back there [at Mercedes], it’s going to be even more shocking. I think as a driver, especially Lewis, I think he is seeing himself to retire as a Ferrari driver.

“It’s obviouslyඣ very nice to have. I don't blame him for h𝓡aving this kind of feeling.”

Zhou admitted he was surprised by 𝕴the timing of Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedes🍷 for Ferrari.

“It’s very unexpected, most likely [I was] not expe൲cting Lewis to retire as a Ferrari driver,” the Chineseꦆ driver added.

“People lo♛ve to be retiring as a Ferrari driver, especially the W꧅orld Champions but he announced it at the beginning of this season, which is still another season to go with his team, which is certainly a shock.

“But exciting I guess🍌 for people like us just to understand so many things are ch📖anging in other teams.”
