168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has told 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes t𒀰hey should back Kimi Antonelli as his replacement.

Mercedes still have not confirmed who will step into the car left behind by Hamil🌃ton, who will go to Ferrari in 2025.

Teenage starlet Antonelli is tipped to get the 🃏nod, and will drive in FP1 on Friday for Mercedes at the F1 Italian Grand Prix.

“I said a long time ago that I think he was who the team 🐓should choose moving forwards,” Hamilton told media including mahbx.com at Monza.

“He’s one of th♉ose young, super talented kids coming through. He’s a young adult now, but he’s only 18.

“I think people need to remember he is just 18, but he has a bright fu♚ture ahead of him and I’m really excited to see and watch his progress.

“I saw a picture of us earlie🌳r on of us back in I think 2018. He wa𓄧s one of the grid kids and it’s like ‘shit, now he’s going to be on the grid’.

“It obviously reminds you of how old you are when you have those experiences, bu🐠t yeah I’m looking forward to seeing him on track in Formula 1.”

Hamilton backs 'new wave' of talent

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff💟💃 has talked up the prodigious talent of Antonelli all year.

“We’ve ✱been watching him through the different formu🐓las,” Hamilton said.

“Natural🦂ly, he is a Mercedes driver. We are starting to see a lot of young drivers coming through. I think we’re just in that time.

“There’s only 20 seats but this is a time we’re starting to see tꦫhis new wave coming through.

“In terms of taking on a driver that’s had many years of experience as opposed to giving an opportunity to a youngster, that’s what happened for me and it wo♛rked out quite well.

“In my opinion it’s just an opportunity t꧂o grow. He’s going to get to work with the best in class, learn from people that I’ve worked with and some new. It’s a great environment for him to nurture in.”

An🐠tonelli was fast-tracked by Wolff into a Formula 2 seat this year. He has won one spr🎐int and one feature race so far.

He will get behind the wheel of an F1 c𓆏ar, during an official session, foඣr the first time on Friday in his home country.

And his yout♏hful fresh perspective could aid Mercedesౠ’ development.

“It’s definitely always g𒐪ood h♉aving more input,” Hamilton said.

“For Kimi tomorrow it’s just about enjoying himself and having fu♔n. It’s going to be an experience for him.

“He’s obviously been testing♚ but tomorrow will be the first time testing this car, which is so🧸 much nicer than the 2022 car.

“So he’s going to be all smiles tomorrow for sure. It’s a pretty drastic difference. The more information and inp🍰ut we get, the better.”
