Charles Leclerc “rather stuck at Ferrari” despite Mercedes speculation, says Damon Hill
Leclerc has been tipped as a potential replacement for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton even though the seven-time world 𝔉champion is expected to sign a new deal in th🍷e coming months.
The Monegasque stꦰated p✱reviously that he’s “fully focused” on winning with Ferrari, insisting he’s not held talks with Toto Wolff.
Ferrari have struggled in the opening five races of F1 2023, scoring just one podium finish in Azerbaijan.
Speaking on the latest episode of the Sky Sports F1 podcast, Hill doesn’t see any openings for Leclerc elsewher💝e.
"I think heꦐ's rather stuck♋ at Ferrari for a bit," Hill said.
"He's never really been in an extended campaign for the championship. There have been moments that it's been good and then they've faded, and he's also had these blots on his copybook with qualifying, the ban🅰zai lap that goes wrong.
"When you look around at the top teams, who they have in their teams, they're probably content𒈔 with what they've got at th🧸e moment - I'm not sure that there's anywhere else for him to go.
"Red Bull, I doubt iꦍt. Mercedes, I'm sure that Toto will be sticking with Lewis until Lewis decides that ☂he's not going to race anymore, and I think Charles is the perfect fit for Ferrari.
"So I think he's꧟ there for the long term, until they give him a car that he can go for a c✃hampionship with.”
Hill thinks Leclerc is “better off where he is” but sug🦂gested As♐ton Martin could be an option if they continue their upwards trajectory.
"Aston Martin are a coming team," he added. "Possibly, if it continues to be dire at Ferrari, then maybe he'll look elsewhere, but I thin𓄧k he's better off where he is."
