Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes to Ferrari
Peter Bonnington has formed the best-ever race engineer and driver partnership in Formula 1 with Hamilton but was still shocked to see him r🏅each P4 in Abu Dhab🥀i.
“None of the strategy plans showed us getting qu🔯ite so far ahead,”๊ Bono told Sky Sports.
Mercedes trackside engineer 💝Andrew Sh🌄ovlin added: “You saw in Vegas how good he is at chasing down a gap.
“He has been quick all weekend but we let him down in qualifꦫying. We should have started further up the grid.
“It was nice to finish with a really strong drive from Lewis, who has clearl🌱🌠y still got it.
♍“He is determined to🦄 keep going, keep winning races, keep adding to his record. We will be cheering him on.”
Shovlin reacted to Toto Wolff’s fury after a bad qualifying: “To be fair, we didn’t do a good enough job. We know what🍸 we’re here to do, and the standard🔥s we operate to. The bigger thing was that we’d put a lot of work into making this a weekend to remember for Lewis, and we were sad that we dropped the ball.”
Bono delivered 🎐his famous “it’s 𝔍hammer time” radio plea before Hamilton completed his brilliant drive in Abu Dhabi.
“We just needed𝕴 the Lewis magic,” Bono said. “He’s a Sunday man. He performed as well as he always does.
“For him to have that belief in us? We knew that we had a competitive pro꧟gramme coming up with the V6 engine 🏅and the chassis. We didn’t think it’d be quite so strong.
“That partners🌃hip with Lewis? The record says the story.”
Nico Rosberg praises Lewis Hamilton
Former teammate and rival Nico Rosberg said about the emotional post-r꧂ace goodbyes: “It’s so powerful to see these moments. Amazing work that Lewis found from inside the car.
“It’s beautiful, the story that they wrote.”
Danica Patrick said: “What a rollercoaster of a weekend. The struggles they’ve had to be fas♚t every weekend.
“He was running well, then qualifying happened. He didn’t have a good qualifying - they sent him out too late, hไe got into traffic, picked up the bollard.
“Then he 🐓starts💧 at the back, gets the race going, then had a chance at a podium!
“I don’t know if it was the chosen route but it made it exciting to ಞwatch.”
Rosberg added: “The way he drove was the drive of a sevenꦓ-time world champion and the greatest of all time.
“He passed George, who had started at the front. A phenomenal𓄧 dri🐼ve from Lewis.”
Hamilton will form a strong partnership with Charles Lecl🤪erc at Ferrari in 2025, under ♌Fred Vasseur’s leadership.
Mercedes’ new era will have George Russell as t💙heir senior driver, with rookie Kimi Antonelli replacing Hamilton.
