Nico Rosberg warns Mercedes against quick call over Lewis Hamilton replacement
Nico Rosberg weighs in on the debat🎃e about how Mercedes should replace Lewis Hamilton

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg has told Mercedes not to give their backing to Andrea Kimi Antonelli to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton too hastily.
Teenage starlet Antonelli i🏅s among the likeliest candidates to step into Hamilton’s shoes with Mercedes in 2025.
Hamilton is leaving for Ferrari, creating a coveted vacancy and giving 𒆙Toto Wolff a massive decision to make.
But Hamilton’s ex-Mercedes teamma♔te Rosberg thinks Wolff should delay his call.
“Antonell๊i is definitely a superstar of the future. But, unfortunately, timing-wise it is too ear♔ly for him.” Rosberg told Sky Sports.
“And too early for To꧂to. He needs to wait until somewhat later in 🌜the year, as we see how Antonelli does in Formula 2.
“He needs a strong season in Formula 2 to even mꦬake it a possibility of goin𒊎g straight to Mercedes.
“Otherwise, if anything, some time at Williams would make seಌnse.”
Signs that Antonelli is being seriously considered for a step into F1 next season ramped up this week, when he took pa🎃rt in a private test of a 2021🌳 Mercedes W12 at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.
Tཧhe 17-year-old is due to drive the 2022🐽 car later this year, too.
Mercedes missed out on a teenage Max Ve൩rstappen so their interest in Antonelli arguably suggests they don’t ๊want to make the same mistake twice.
Fernando Alonso is no longer available after h🗹e penned a fresh contract with Aston Martin.
Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris are co𒆙mmitted to Ferrari andꩵ McLaren respectively.
Carl🎉os Sainz, who Hamilton will🤪 displace at Ferrari, is still on the market.
Wolffꦺ has said: “You📖 can look at it from various perspectives.
“I believe that we are in a rebuild phase. You need to acknowledge that now three years into these regulations, we have got to do things differently than we've done in the past without throwing overboard what we believe is goodness in the way w🌸e operate.
“It could mean putting a young driver in there an🐼d giving him an opportunity with less pressure than fighting for victories immediately, or putting a more experienced driver in the car that can help us dig ourselves out of the current performance picture.”
