168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has conceded not having the opportunity to drive for Ferrari in the post-season Abu Dhabi F1 test “makes the start of the year harder”, but vowed ꦡto “do our best to recover”.

Unlike 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, who will be behind the Williams FW46 next month on the Abu Dhabi test, Hamilton will not be able to drive forꦅ his new team until the New Year.

Toto Wolff clarified in Las Vegas that due to “contractual agꦍreements with sponsors” allowing Hamilton to drive for Ferrari in the test would be possible.

Wolff said in Vegas: “Fred didn't ask. I think 🐓it's a difference also if you're maybe going to Williams, but we have contractual agreements with spons🍬ors.

“We're having a farewell for Lewis. We're having lots of activities that are planned. And him and I, we spoke about it shortly, and he said, I guess that's not going t⛄o work.

“I don't think it's going to work. And thꦯat was the whole thing. So I don't think Fred is particularly sad.”

It’s likely Hamilton will get the ▨chance to drive the 2022 Ferrari at the꧟ team’s own track in Fiorino ahead of pre-season testing.

, Hamilton admitted missing out on the test would be a disadvantage going into 2025.

“Am I missing out on something? For sure,” he saiꦬd. “It definitely delays the process and makes the sta♔rt of the year harder, but we'll do our best to recover.”

The seven-time world champion revealed that he never flat-out asked Mercedes to be𓃲 given the chance to drive the 2024 Ferrari challenger, but acknowledged it probably was never going to happ✨en.

“Look, I💜 know Fred wanted it to happen,” he added. “For me, I was in two minds. Driving the red car for the first time in Abu Dhab♏i does not excite me.

“In a perfect world, you'd get to drive it and not be seen and do the first rollout next year. When I did race it, obviously with Toto, they had all these plans that I've got to go and see some of the sponsors and s🐭🦄ay their farewells. So I don't think it was ever going to actually be allowed, even if I'd asked to have done it. 

“But because I'm contracted to the team until December 31st, and that's totally fine. But it doesn't bother me, 𒀰again, because I wasn't going to do the test. It's not what I wanted to do. I told Fred that's not what 𒉰I wanted to do.”
