Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s shock switch to F🃏errari for 2🍸025 will likely “energise” the final part of his career.

Hamiꦡlton’s surprise transf♌er from Mercedes to Ferrari was confirmed on Thursday evening, ending his 17-year association with the German manufacturer.

The seven-time world champion has spent the entirety of his F1 career driving for Me🌞rcedes.

McLaren were powered by Mercedes, with them having signi🌳ficant influence given they didn’t have a works team.

Hamilton then moved t✤o Mercedes in 2013, which proved to be a masterstroke as it res🍬ulted in him winning six titles.

Giving his reaction to the news, Brundle told Sky Sports News: "We've talked to him about it for years, interviews [along the lines of] 'wouldn't you fancy doing a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher and joining Ferrari to make them champions?'

"H💎e's always said 'I've been with Mercedes, even when🔜 I was at McLaren I had Mercedes engines, they're my team and my manufacturer for life'. What a story - Lewis Hamilton in a Ferrari."

Brundle thinks it would be foolish to “write off” Hamilton, who 🗹could lead Ferrari to “Schumacher-esque” success in the near future.

"Never writ𝓡e off Lewis Hamilton," Brundle added. "He knows how to win races and championships, and it'll be very Schumacher-esque if he can go there and really drive the team to start winning a lot more races and be championship contenders."

"He's had a coup💯le of years of not winning a race and we've seen a couple of other changes he's made, bringing Marc Hynes b☂ack, who was his long-time mentor and eyes and ears in the paddock

"I think he's probably goneꦍ 'I'm going to stop focusing on all of the things outside of racing and get back to Lewis Hamil༒ton the racing driver'.

"I thiﷺnk this is a wonderful opportunity to motivate him and energise him for this phase of his career."
