Lewis Hamilton on Mick Schumacher as third driver: “His father Michael and Mercedes closely connected”

Mick Schumacher was ditched by Haas and lost his place in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 F1 driver line-up but has taken up a role as a th❀ird driver with Mercedes.
His legendary father Michael ended his career🐠 with Mercedes, paving the way for Hamilton’s incredibleܫ success with the team.
“You don't work so closely with the third driver anymore,” ♒Hamilton told Bild about Mick joining Mercedes.
“It's a lot of simulator wor🍌k and not like it used to be, even though we'll still be teammat♛es.
“Mick is a great talent. He is an asset for Mercedes. He is a German driver.&⛄nbsp;
“His father M🐟ichael and Mercedes were already closely connected.”
Michael and Hamilton share the all-time Fꩲ1 record for the most championships (seven).

Hamilton, now 37, knows time is running out to claim that record outright, particularly with the dominant 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen intent on making his own mark in the history bo🦹oks.
Both Mercedes and Red Bull have added high-profile third drivers - Mick joining Hamilton’s ranks, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo joining Verstappen’s team.
This year, much will depend on Hamilton🐬 and Verstappen’s relationship with their teammates.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez and Verstappen had a high-profile falling-out in 2022, and although everything appears rosy between Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, the younger driver claimed Mercedes’ only win ൩of last year and will have his own title ambitions.
