Ex-F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has questioned how much 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton will be a꧃ble to “contribute” to Ferrari’s ༺success in 2025.

Ham♌ilton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the en✤d of this season, bringing an end to his long-term association with the German brand.

The seven-time world champion has endured a tough start with Mercedes in 2024, scoring just eight points - his wors💖t start to a ﷺcampaign since 2009.

Schumacher - who raced in F1 between 1997 and 2007 - feels Hamilton doesn’t have the “qualities” 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has.

“He will certai༺nly bring his expertise and insights, but I think Ferrari is already well on its way. Hamilton won’t be able to contribute too much,” Schumacher told .

“I’m sureꦫ Vasseur wouldn’t pay that much money for nothing. He will offer and give Hamilton everything to ensure he can perform.

“Hamilton is of course a seven-timeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ World Champion and a fantastic driver. But I💦 don’t think he has the qualities that Verstappen has.

“I don🗹’t think he is as consistent as Verstappen. And he cannot get that extra tenth out at 🔯any cost.”

Schumacher also questioned Hamilton’s commitment when the car ♛isn’t competitive.

“Hamilton has to feel like he can win to be able to drive fast,” ꦑhe added.

“So the question is will he keep up with the times when the new rules come in? Becau♏se with new rules, the driving style also changes, and he may have difficulty with that.”

Former Renault boss - and manager of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso - Flavio Briatore has also raised simiꦰlar concerns.

“He i🐼s one of those drivers who doesn’t put much effort into it if the car isn’t good,” he told RAI.
