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 has delivered his first verdict on the driver move that has 🐬r🍬ocked Formula 1.

Hamilton will swap Mercedes for Ferrari next year, uniting F1’s most successfu꧙l driver with its most succ𝓰essful team.

Rosberg, who drove alongside Hamilton at🔥 Mercedes and edged him to the 2016 F1 title, has reacted to his for🔜mer teammate’s upcoming switch.

“Of course, it came as a huge s꧋urprise,” Rosberg told Sky Sports. “No-one expected it, and I didn’t expect it either.

“But if you look at the grand scheme of things, ♈then why not?

“It’s towards the end of 🐭his career. Two legendary teams - Mercedes and Ferrඣari.

“I kn⭕ow Lewis is a fan of Ferrari road cars, also.

“So why not make that switch and have a different experience, driving i🧸n red.

“Then🃏 he ticks ꧑off both boxes, driving for the two most legendary teams.

“By the way𓃲, at the moment, it seems in perfo⭕rmance terms to be the right decision for him.

“Maybe he will make an amazing move like 12 years ago whe♒n he moved from McLaren to Mercedes.

“McLa🌠ren ဣwere winning races, Mercedes were nowhere.

“The moment he move♒d, McLaren went backwards and Mercedes started winnin🌺g races. Maybe he can get the same timing again.”

Hamilton has battled top-notch teammates throughout his career including Rosber🏅g, Fernando Alonso, ♚Jenson Button and now George Russell.

Next year at Ferra𒐪ri, he will be paired💜 with Charles Leclerc in a thrilling-looking combo.

“We are looking forwar💝d to that dyꦡnamic,” Rosberg said.

“💜Charles doesn’t seem like someone who is in conflict with his teammate.

“From that point of vie🍸w, maybe it won’t be spicy.

“C♎harles🐻 is probably the second-best qualifier, apart from Max Verstappen.

“So it will be a tough ba🎃ttle for both. The level 𒆙could be similar. It will be great to watch.”

Hamilton’s contract with Ferrari will take him into his 40s. He is already the secꦏond-oldest F1 driver behind Fernando Alonso.

Alonso, soon to be 43, has signed a new deal to remain at Aston Martin so will𝓡 renew his rivalry with Hamilton in new machinery in 2025.

Rosberg 🍷said about Alonso: “To see him still driving a🐼t the best level is incredible.

“It’s only because he’s one of the best dri🤡vers of all time that he’s able to do that.

“Lewis, half a year ago, was maybe still the best on the grid with Verstappen. But the ꦿbeginning of the season has been 🐻difficult.

“Lewis can go into his 40s, no problem.”
