168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s shock F1 switch 😼from Mercedes to Ferrari has been likened to football star Lionel Messi’s transfer to Inter Miamওi.

Seven-time world champion Hamilton will team up with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc at Ferrari next season after activating an exit clause in his current Mercedes contract to complete one of the bigges💫t driver moves in th🦩e history of F1.

Williams driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon compared the magnitude of the news to Argentina forward Messi, considere🔴d one of the greatest footballer’s of all time, signing for David Beckham’s Inter Miami last summer.

“It’s great for the sport,” Albon told the gathered media including mahbx.com. “What a news story💦 it was.

“I didn’t see it coming but good for him. I think he wants🌸ܫ that change up.

“It just shows you how big Lewis is, seeing ꦅthe stock of Ferrari going up as much as it did and the general perception of the news, definitely☂ for me it was one of those pinch yourself moments.

“Is this is 🃏a real story? There were so mꩲany rumours going around over the winter, you didn’t know what had any credibility or not.

“The Ferrari one definitely seemed to be a rumour to me until i🐲t turned outꦯ to be a real thing.

“It remind🔯s me of the [Lionel] Messi to [Inter] Miami ✅transfer - on such a huge scale and just shows you the appetite for F1.

“It leaves a 🀅lot of questions for the driver𓃲 market as well and opens that up.”

Albon’s teammate, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant, reckons it will make the driver market ⭕“𝓡even crazier”.

“I was surpr🌳ised, I was shocked. Shows Lewis can go wherever he wants!” He added.

"If that is what he fee▨ls will motivate him to keep improving and ultimately try and win another world championship then you have to respect and understand the decision.🌟”

Williams team boss James 🎀Vowles, who previouꦡsly worked with Hamilton at Mercedes, expected the move at some point, but admitted the timing caught him off guard.

“The timing came as a surpr༺ise to me,” Vowles said. “His want and desire tꦍo be in a Ferrari at some point in his career, no [it didn’t surprise me].

"Most world champions have been there or have a desire to get there because it’s a force of nature and still the most successful team in F1. That can’t be ignඣored.

“It’s the hardest💜 thing you can do for every human in the world, to✅ move from where you are comfortable to where you are not, challenges you and pushes you to the limit, and that’s Lewis all over.

"So the fact he’s doing it will act💟ually be good for the sport and it will be good for Lewis because he’ll learn from it and he’ll challenge himself.

“It’s no♍t good for Mercedes short term, but they will be absolutely fine with w🅘here they get to on drivers and they’ll come back strong as a result.  Ultimately, it’s a good thing all round.”
