168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s ex-teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg ha𒅌s delivered his first verdict on the driver move that has rocked Formula 1.
Hamilton will swap Mercedes for Ferrari next year, uniting F1’s most successful📖 driver with its most successful team.
Rosberg, 🦂who drove alongside Hamilton at 🍸Mercedes and edged him to the 2016 F1 title, has reacted to his former teammate’s upcoming switch.
“Of course, it came as a huge surprise,” Rosberg told Sky Sports. “No-one expected it, and I didn’t expect it eith🌺er.
“But if you look at the grand🍸 scheme of things, ♊then why not?
“It’s towards the end of his career. T꧅wo legendary teams - 🎃Mercedes and Ferrari.
“I know Lewis is a fan of Fe𝓀rrari road cars, also.
“So why not make that switch and have a different experience, drivi༺ng in red.
“Then he ticks off both boxes, dri🍒ving for the two most legendary teams.
“By 🍸the way, at the moment, it seems in performance terms to be the right decision for him.
“Maybe he will make an amazing move like 12 years ago wheཧn he moved from McLaren to Mercedes.
“Mc🅰Lar🅷en were winning races, Mercedes were nowhere.
“The moment he moved, McLaren went backwards and Mercedes started winning races꧟. Maybe he can get the same timing again.”
Hamilton has battled top-notch teammates througho💫ut his career including Rosberg, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button and now George Russell.
Next year at Ferrari, he wilౠl be paired with Charles Leclerc in a thril🌃ling-looking combo.
“We are looking forward to that dynamic,” ꦛRosberg said.
“Charles doesn’t seem like someone who is in conflict with his te💃ammate.
“From that point of vie🧸w, maybe it won’t be spicy.
🍌“Charles is probably the second-best qualifier, 🍌apart from Max Verstappen.
“So it will be a tough b𒊎attle for both. The level could be similar. It will be great to watch.”
Hamilton’s contract with Ferrari will take him into his 40s. He is already the second-oldest F1 driꦉver behind Fernando Alonso.
Alonso, soon to be 43, has signed a new deal to re☂main at Aston Martin so will renew his rivalry with Hamilton in new machinery in 2025.
Rosberg s💙aid about Alonso: “To see him still driving at the best level is incredible.
“It’s only💎 because he’s one of the best drivers of all time that he’s able 😼to do that.
“Lewis, half a ye𝓀ar ago, was maybe still the best on the grid with Verstappen. But the beginning of the season ha💙s been difficult.
“Lewis can go into his 40s, no problem.”
