168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has told 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to “enjoy” his time as a Ferrari F1 driver ahead of his move next year.

Hamilton will replace Sainz at Ferrari for the 2025 F1 season alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.

It means this weekend’s F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be Hamilton’s final race for Mercedes, while Sainz wi🅺ll bow out of Ferrari after four years.

Speaking in the FIA press conference on Thursday in Abu Dhabi, where are present in the paddock, Sainz was asked if he had any advice for Hꩲamilton ahead of his big move.

While Sainz was🦂 quick to point out that a driver of Hamilton’s calibre doesn’t need “advice”, he did have a nice message for hi🎃s fellow driver.

“No, honestly, I don't think a seven-time world champion that has changed teams multiple times or a few time🎶s in the past needs my advice,” Sainz said.

“The only thing I can obviously recommend him or tell him is to enjoy it. It's an incredible place to be part of and an incredible place to drive and feel lik♊e a Formula 1 driver.

“I believe ꩵhe will get an incredible treatment by the tifosi and by all the supporters, engineers, mechanics, everyone involved in Ferrari and enjoy it because there's nothing better than being a Ferrari Formula 1 driver. And yeah, I'm sure he's going to enjoy that.”

Will Ferrari regret replacing Sainz with Hamilton?

At 🐭the start of the ye🌳ar, replacing Sainz with Hamilton was a no-brainer.

Hami❀lton finished third in the 2023 F1 drivers’ champi🥂onship and was clearly a step ahead of his teammate.

Fast forward to the end of 2024, Hamilton has been comprehensively out-performed by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

Russell leads 18-5 in the quali🍬fying head-to-head and sits ahead in the drivers’ standings.

Hamilton has recently admitted he’s “just slow” following a torrid week💜end at the Qatar Grand Prix.

On the other hand, Sainz has enjoye💟d another stro🐻ng year with the Scuderia.

While it’s undeniable Leclerc has had aℱn edge during their four years together, Sainz has never been consistently beaten to a point where he’s been effectively a number two driver at Ferrari.

In terms of on track perfor✨mance alone, you can Sainz doesn't deserve to be replaced.

But when a driver of Hamilton’s calibre becomes available, it’s understandable that Fer🔥rari couldn’t sa🔴y no.

Ferrari and Frederic Vas💝seur will be hoping 2024 has been just a blip for Hamilton and that the magic that we’ve seen occasionally is more frequent next year.
