168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas has backed former Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to succeed when he moves to Ferrari in 2025.

Ha🌞milton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari after his bombshell move was announced last week, marꦰking an end to his long-term association with Mercedes.

Hamilton drove for McLaren in his first handful of seasons, powered by Mercedes, be♊fore joining their works team in 2013.

While he was criticised for the move at the time, it proved to ♋be inspired as Hamilton went on to win six of his seven world championships at Brackley.

Four of them were alongside Bottas, with the pair remaining unbeaꦛten in the F1 constructo🌸rs’ championship.

Speaking at the launch of the new Sauber C44 on Monday, Bottas told select media including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ltxcn.top that he never thought Hamilton w💞ou🍒ld move to Ferrari.

“I never thought it would happen,” he said. “I thought in my mind he would stay at Mercedes, but that's Formula 1. Things 🦋happen, and I think that it's good for him because he's obviously made the decision and it's a fresh, new start.

“It's a big move in F1ꦡ, which is going to create some movement as well on the drivers' market for sure.”

Bottas believes it will only take a few races before Hamilton is up to spe🧸ed in his new team next year.

“I think he will. He's got so much experience of the sport. He's dealt with many different people in the sport, I think t✅here's no problem on thatꦯ,” Bottas said.

“I'm sure it's going to be quite an exciting project for him to try and get to t🗹he top together with Ferrari.

“I🍷🌄f anyone can do it, he can do it. ... I think after a few races already he'll be well settled in and then straight on from there."
