Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has poured cold water on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo as a potential replacement for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes in 2025.

Mercedes will have to find a new driver to partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell from 2025 after Hamilton🗹 decided that he will leave the 💖team for Ferrari.

The Brackley-based team’s optꦛioಌns are limited in terms of true superstars.

Oscar Piastri is also off the market, co🧔ntrඣacted to McLaren until the end of 2026.
