Ex-F1 team boss Eddie Jordan has backed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to be a “serious contꦗender” when he joins Ferrari.

Hamilton will partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc ওfrom 2025, bringing an end to his long ♑term alliance with Mercedes.

The seven-time world c💦hampion shocked the sporting world when his move was announced ahead of the new season.

Speaking on the latest episode of the 𝔍podcast, Jordan explained why he felt Hamilto🐲n lost his “mojo” at Mercedes, resulting in the need to switch teams.

“I think his mojo was up at Mercedes, I think he needed a new home,” Jordan said. “And often the case is when the time and the pressure and the s๊tress on people is so intense, you need to find another set of parameters – and I think that’s why Lewis went there.

“I truthfully don’t believe it’s to do with contracts or money. I♌ think he feels that he would like to see his career finish at Ferrari because it’s a magic place to go. And he intends to go to live in Italy, which I can understand. He intends to learn the language fluently, and I think they’re all very important because if you don’t do that, you will not be ingratiate within the Ferrari confines.

“Can he win a World Championship in the future? I thi🎉nk they are very strong. We are all very ဣimpressed with Fred Vasseur because I think Fred has brought a magic calm to that team.”

Also speaking on the same podcast, co-host Da♌vid Coulthard doubts Hamilton will be able to keep on level terms with Leclerc given the difference in age.

“How do y🥃ou think he’s going to coexist with Charles Leclerc?” Coulthard added.

“I’ve said that, personally, Charles at 27, one of the fastest guys, is going to be a big challenge for Lewis. You know, he’s going to be 40. I’m not questioning Lewis’ brilliance, but it’s just the natural curv🃏e in someone’s career.

“I’ve got to believe that Lewis is at the po💖int where he’s got all of the experience, but I can’t believe he’s getting quicker at that age. And I know that it’s goin🍌g to upset the Lewis fans, but obviously, I would be delighted to see that he’s defying age, and it’s going to be a close battle between him and Charles.”

🌺However, Jordan is adamant Hamiltoꦉn will be back to his best, predicting “fireworks”.

“My opinion, I disagree,” Jordan concluded. “Because I ♛think certainly for next year, ’25, the new rules will not be in place, so he will be effe🀅ctively driving what is the car that he’s got that is there this year.

“I think at 39 that Lewis, when he gets himself with red overalls, just like when he left McLaren and went to Mercedes, it was just like🍸 fireworks. I think that Lewis will be a serious contender for the World Championship, aܫnd I promise you he will give it an almighty crack next year before ’26. Anything can happen.”
