New information has been revealed about the future of Peter Bonnington, who will stay at Mercedes instead of following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari.

‘Bono’ has been promoted into a new job,ಌ head of race engineering, at Mercedes which ends any chance of him going to🌳 Ferrari in 2025 alongside Hamilton.

Bono is the long-time race engineer for Hamilton at Mercedes but could be entrusted with a crucial t🍒ask when the seven-time F1 champion departs next season.

“They are an iconic pairing,” Sky Sports News’ Craig Slater reported. “It was Bonnington that wou🐻ld call out over team radio ‘it’s hammer time!’

“The two shared the podium at Silverstone when Lewi𓂃s claimed his first victory in a couple of yearsꦐ. They have a great personal relationship.

“There were never any serious talks about h🌳im lea🅺ving Mercedes for Ferrari.

“He is still on the best of terms with hamilton. I have learned that Lewis is extremely pleased that Bonningt🍌on has got this p🐟romotion.

“They will continue working toget🌳her for the rest of this season.

“There ⭕was speculation that he was s🌺omeone Lewis might want to tempt from Mercedes to Ferrari. Not the case.

“It is important he stays at Mercedes because there is serious potential for Kimi Antonelli - who will only be♑ 18 if Mercedes replace Hamilton with him in the seat next year - my understanding is that Bonnington is seen as having the perfect resume to guide Antonelli through a high-pressure situation 🐬in a debut season.”

Teenage starleꦬt Antonelli is the obvious choice to sit alongside George Russell in 2025 in a new-look Mercedes driver duo, although it remains unconfirmed.

Having Bono in his eꦇar during races would allow Antonelli to learn from his huge amount of experience.

Bono has worked alongside Hami🎃lton for 12 years, spanning six drivers’ titles and eight constructors’ titles.

He previo෴usly acted as Michael Schumacher’s race engineer during t꧙he legend’s stay with Mercedes.

Hamilton has a ‘non poaching 🦩clause’ which means he cannot take impo🔥rtant Mercedes colleagues with him to Ferrari next year, ltxcn.top understands.

Hamilton will, therefore, have a new race engineer when he join🌜s Ferrari next season.
