According to the Daily Mail, Mercedes are considering Ricciardo as a potential༒ reserve driver for next season befor🔥e he then replaces Hamilton.

Ricciardo is without a spot in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 driver line-up with his options very limited after being dropped by McLaren in favour of Oscar Piastri. 

On the other hand, Hamilton is contracted to drive with Mercedes until the end of the next year but speculation about his future is always in the headlines given his age and the succesജs he’s 🍸enjoyed.

At 37, Hamilton is the second-oldest driver🌳 on the grid after Fernando Al🀅onso (41).

Even so, Hamilton has bee🌟n performing spectacularly in 2022 despite🌃 trailing new teammate George Russell in the drivers’ championship.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Italian Grand Prix, Hamilton revealed that he’s “healthier than I’ve ever🍌 felt” and that 💙he can “race for quite a bit longer”.

“I mean look for years we’ve been going around, up and down with stജories of retirement and stopping,” Hamilton said. “Fo꧂r me, I feel healthier than I’ve ever felt as I focus a lot on that. I am feeling fit. I love what I am doing and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

“My goal always was to be with Mercedes, I signed with them in 1997. I love that we have the long partnership we have. I feel l👍ike we are embarking on a lot of positive things, not only in the sport but outsideღ and I think there’s a lot to accomplish together. I want to be part of that. 

“I think I wil🍃l always be with Mercedes until the day I die. I feel like I can race fo☂r quite a bit longer so I will be potentially steering towards that.”

Hamilton will be forced to start this weekend’s It🐼alian GP at Monza from the back of the grid after taking engine penalties.

This is because Hamilton damaged his power unit d𒆙uring his Lap 1 contact with Alonso at Spa-Francorchamps.

Mercedes are hopeful they can repair Hamilton’s power unit from Spa to use later on in the season🔥.
