168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton reckons former F1 rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel would be an “amazi♛ng option” for Mercedes to replace him.

The seven-time world cham🅠pion is quitting Mercedes at the end of the year to complete a blockbuster switch to Ferrari, leaving a vacated seat at the German manufacturer for 2🅠025.

🌸Vettel, who retired from F1 in 2022, is just one name who has been linked with Mercedes. The 36-year-old German has admitted he is thinking about making a return to the sport.

And Hamilton, who battled then-Ferrari driver Vettel for the 2017 and 2018 world titles, says he “would lov𝄹e” to see the four-time world champion return to F1.

"I would love for Seb to come♑ back and I think it would be an amazing option for the team," H𓆏amilton said ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.

"Germanꦅ driver, multi-world championship winning dri🤪ver, and someone who has amazing values who would continue to take the team forward. I'd love it if he came back.”

Several drivers including the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz൩ - both of whom are out of contract - have been linked with the Mercedes seat.

Mercedes could also promote their teenage protege Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who i😼s believed to be Tꦇoto Wolff’s first choice replacement for Hamilton.

But a quick-𒀰fire F1 graduation for the 17-year-old Italian depends on how he gets on in his rookie Formuꦛla 2 season.

"The only thing I really care about is that the team 🌠takes on someone that with integrity and that are aligned with the team and where the team's going,” Hamilt♋on added.

“Someone compassiona💞te that's able to work with gꦰreat people and continues to lift them up. There's so many great people in this team.

"And as dr🧜ivers... there are some thatꦑ are more selfish than others, there are some that are good drivers but perhaps not the best within the team environment, I don't know because I'm not been in with all of them. But I hope they find someone great.

"They've already got George and he's perfect so finding a good option alongside him I'm sure they've got so many good options. They've got so many options. I do think it's always great to give🦩 an opportunity to up and coming drivers so the idea of a youngster coming in for me is exciting."
