Questions have arisen about Mercedes’ attractiveness to potential 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton replacements after a dreadful F1 Australian Grand Prix.

Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell were both un🐼able to finish the race, the latest setback in a season which has started badly for the team.

Hamilton was left frustrated by an engine issue which caused an early retirement before Russell crashe🐼d out on the last lap.

The😼 wider picture is that Me༒rcedes are seeking a replacement for Ferrari-bound Hamilton for 2025.

But, they are also under pre♊ssure to prove themselves as a worthy destination for a top driver.

🦄“Tough times for Mercedes,” Sky Sports’ 🍸Naomi Schiff reacted.

“This is the third season in the era of new F1 cars and they haven’t quite got🎃 on top of it❀.

“Besides the fact that they had a mechanical issue, and Geoꦉrge had an issue, they didn’t have thღe pace that they needed.

“The car is so unpredictable for the team to understand. Whether it’s one side of the garage or not, it still doesn’t have the pace that they need to challenge. It’s a tough on♍e.

“Lewis is going to Ferrari and they need to be a team with a𒆙ppeal for whoever they might give that seat to in the future.

“At the moment, is Mercedes a team that﷽ drivers want to go to?

“They finished second in the championship last year but we need to see t🍬hem moving forwards to be an attractive proposi🌸tion.

“At the moment, it doesn’t seem that they have the situation under con🦩trol෴.”

Ironically the winner of the F1 Au🥃stralian Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz, is out of a job next year because Hamilton will replace him at Ferrari.

Sainz is on the market and could come into con🦩si🧜deration for Toto Wolff.

Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso is a🌱 big-name possibility while Alpine’s Esteban Ocon has been mentioned as a stopgap solution.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes’ teenage junior driver who ⛦is currently in Formula 2, is also an option.

But before Wo🦹lff even makes his huge decision, Mercedes know that they must rectify a bad weekend in Australia to get Hamilton’s final season with the team back on course.
