Ex-F1 driver Karun Chandhok believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedeꦯs for Ferrari is a “calculated risk”, but one that has ꦫ“worked out” before.

Hamilton officialജly joined Ferrari on January 1, 202𝓀5.

Hamilton had spent 12 years at Mercedes, winning six of his sev🔯💎en titles with them. 

The seven-time world༺ champion will now 🔯likely finish his F1 career with the Scuderia.

It’s the second time in his F1 ꦚcareer that🧸 Hamilton has made a bombshell move. 

At the end of 2012, Hamilton left McLaren, which were title contenders at the tiℱme, for Mercedes, which were effectively a midfield team.

Assessing his 𓆉decision to leave Mercedes following a turbulent final season with the team, Chandhok told the : “I think it was a punt because how could you tell what the opposition was doing? He would obviously have a feeling what was going on at Mercedes.

“He’s talked about people not necessarily ꧂l♎istening to what he’s saying and not fully taking onboard some of his thoughts of where the cars should go.

“On reflection, earlier in the year, he was talking about some of those conversations. Maybe that steered him into somewhere else where they might🦩 listen a bit more.”

“It’s worked out once”

Hamilton’s last F1 team move worked out better than anyone could have imagined.&nbs𝕴p;

Immediately, Mercedes overtook McLaren in💮 performance terms.

Since Hamilto🌳n’s departure, McLaren have only returned to the top of F1 this year, finishing ahead of Mercedes in the constructors’ championship.

Chandhok sees some parallels to Hamilton’s decision to leave McLaren, which wa🍸s widely criticised at the time.

“I was re-watching some iওnterviews that you [Ted Kravitz, who also appeared on the podcast] and Martin were doing towards the end of 2012 with people like Niki Lauda about Lewi♍s coming to Mercedes,” he added.

“Even that was a bit of a punt. He just wanted a changཧe of environment to leave McLaren and go s💝omewhere else.

“I think he does but it’s aﷺ calculated risk. It’s worked out once. Let’s see if it happens again.”
