Mercedes F1 chief Andrew Shovlin doesn’t believe 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s decision to leave the team f🍨or Ferrari was solely down to car performance.

Hamilton shocked the sporting♒ world in February wh🌊en his move to Ferrari was announced.

The seven-time world champion’s decision to leave the team wa𒅌s a surprise given his contract with Mercedes didn’t run out until the end of 2025.

Additionally, Hamilton has remained part of the Mercedes family since the🐼 start of his F1 career 𒀰with McLaren.

While Mercedes started this year on the back🦩 foot, heading into the Dutch Grand Prix later this month, they’ve won three of the last four races.

Speaking to select media including during the Belgian Grand Prix weekend, Shovlin was asked whether he felt Hamilton woꦆuld have stayed with Mercedes if he knew how competitive the team would become mid-way through this s🔯eason.

“I think if we'd been winning championships, it would have ꦗbeen difficult for Lewis to say no,” Shovlin said.

“However, I think his bꩵiggest reasons a💧re not necessarily ones of car performance.

“He clearly wants to have another chapter in his career beyond his very successful 🅷one with Mercedes.

“He's of an age where if🔯 he was going to do that, he would need to do it sღooner rather than later.

“And as I said, if y🍬ou know if we were dominating a championship, I suspect it w𓆏ould have been difficult for him to do that.

“But I think a big part of Lew🧸is is wanting to have anothe♏r team and another challenge in his career.

“I think whe🍌n someone's decided that they wanꦅt to do that it can be quite difficult to persuade them otherwise.”

Only 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri have out-scored Hamilton in the last eight races.

Hamilton added to his 103 wins with vict🐟ories at Silverstone and Spa - moving him onto 105 for his career.
