168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas has backed former Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to succeed when he moves to Ferrari in 2025.

Hamilton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari after his bombshell move w♈as announced last week, marking an end to his long-term associꦕation with Mercedes.

Hamilton drove for McLaren in his first handful of se⛎asons, powered by Mercedes, before joining their works team in 2013.

𝓀While he was criticised for the move at the time, it proved to be ins🌠pired as Hamilton went on to win six of his seven world championships at Brackley.

Four of them were alon𝄹gside Bottas, with the pair remaining unbeaten in the F1 constructors’ championship.

Speaking at the launch of the new Sauber C44 on Monday, Bottas told select media including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ltxcn.top that he never thoug༒ht Hamilton would move to Ferrar🌠i.

“I never thought it would happen,” he said. “I thought in my mind he would stay at Mercedes, but that's Formula 1. Things happen, and I think that it's good for him because he's obviously made the decis𝓰ion and it's a fresh, new start.

“It's a big move in F1, which is going to create some mo๊vement as well on the drivers' market for sure.”

B🧔ottas believes it will only take a few races before Hamilton is up to 🌳speed in his new team next year.

“I think he will. He's got so much experience of the sport. He's dealt with many different p💛eople in the sport, I think there's no problem on that,” Bottas said.

“I'm sure it's going to be quite an exciting project for him to try and🐷 get to the top together with Ferrari.

“If anyone can do it, he can do it. ..𒈔. I think after a few races🅘 already he'll be well settled in and then straight on from there."
