Toto Wolff doubts raised over ‘risky’ Lewis Hamilton replacement at Mercedes
Doubts have been raised about whether Toto Wolff will gamble with Mercedes' replacement for ♕Lewis Hamilton.

F1 commentator Alex Jacques is unsure whether Toto Wolff will opt for Mercedes wonderkid Andrea Kimi Antonelli as a replacement for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in 2025.
Mercedes have a big decision to make after Hamilton decided to swit𒅌ch to Ferrari from next season.
A number of options are available to Mercedes, including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon.
Their junior driver, Ki𝄹mi Antonelli, is set to drive in FIA Formula 2 with Pre🍎ma this season.
The young Italian has been mooted as a potential option if Mercedes want to go “bold” as they look for their own 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
Jacques, who also commentates on F2, doubts Wཧolff will put Antonelli straight into a top team.
“Antonelli would have to completely dominate the championship to have a chance of starting the 20🐬25 season in that Mercedes team♋,” Jacques told the Feeder Series Podcast.
“I just don’t see Wolff putting someone, no matter howꦜ good they are, in thatജ situation.”

If Antoཧnelli does succeed in F2, a couple of years at Williams could be a possibility.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell spent three years at Grove before making the move up as a replacement for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas.
“[Wolff] does not strike me as a team principal who would take that sort of risk, an🌼d no matter how talented a driver is, it is easier to do a [Charles] Leclerc in a Sauber, a Russell in a Williams,” he adde🔥d.
“Whethe💮r it be a♋ World Champion, a race winner, or a hotshot talent. You need something to lift that team.
“That’s either going to have to be a massive name of huge calibre or a mega talent, but I still don’t see An🐈tonelli starting [the season with Meꦺrcedes].”
