Mercedes ready "to turn the page" as Lewis Hamilton exits edges closer
“It feels༺ like a team ready to turn the page, ready for a new era"

Lewis Hamilton 🌜is “ready to turn the page” on his Mer🅰cedes career, it has been claimed.
Hamilton will drive in only three more F1 grands prix before 𝐆moving to Ferrari next year.
Although he returned to winning ways at Silverstone this season, the past 🎀three years have been largely forgettable for Hamilton since Red Bull’s domination sta𒆙rted.
In Brazil last week, Hamilton made his annoyance with the W15 clear via team radio as he finished 10th - then admitted he wasꦕ keen f💦or the season to end quickly.
F1 Na🌌tion podcast host Tom Clarkson said about Mercedes’ troublesome car: “In ꦡthe hands of one driver, Hamilton, it looked undriveable. George Russell managed to get a tune out of it.”
A🉐lex Jacques replied: “It’s a very strange one, they don’t have a full understanding. It’s been the ꧃case for the triple-header.
“The ൲updates look great… but then they put them on the🌳 car, and there’s a gap of correlation which is such a big thing if you’re at the front.
“The updates that McLaren have brought this season have worked immediately when ꦡbolted onto their car.
🃏“Ferrari didn’t need to bring upgrades to the triple-header and it worked for them in Austin and Mexico City.
“Mercedes are searching for answers.
“Russell looked strong but, when it mattered, couldn’t get past an A൲lpine.
“You would have put money on Russell finding a way b🔯y.
“It feels like a team ready to turn the page, rꩵeady for a new era.
“It’s been an incredible era, a Formuꦆla 1 era unlike anyth🎶ing we’ve ever seen.
“But it feels l🍷ike Lewis needs a new challenge, and Mercedes need to move to the next stage.
“Hamilton was really unhappy on the radio, ti𓃲me and time again, complaining about the ride of the car and the bumps.
“He’ll be looking forward to going to Ferrari. And Merced🔯es will look forward to 2025.”
Hamilton will be 40 years old when he debuts for Fe💦r𒁏rari next season, and will be chasing a record eighth F1 title.
He will form a dream duo with Charles Leclerc.
Mercedes, meanwhile, will move on with the🦋 prodigious Kimi Antonelli alongside Russell.
