168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s ex-teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg has delivered his first verdict on the driver move that has rocked F♉ormula 1.

Hamilton will swap Mercedes for Ferrari next year, uniting F1’s most successful driver withꩲ its most successful team.

Rosberg, who drove alongside Hamilton at Mercedes and edged him to the 2016 F1 title, has reacted to his for🔥mer teammate’s upcoming switch.

“Of course, it came as a huge ♔surprise,” Rosb🐬erg told Sky Sports. “No-one expected it, and I didn’t expect it either.

“But if you look atꦆ the grand scheme of things, tꩵhen why not?

“It’s towards the end of his career. Two legend🏅ary teams - Mercedes and Ferrari.

“I know Lewis is a fan of 𓃲Ferrari road cars, also.

“So why not make that switc🍌h and have a different experience, driving in red.

“Then he ticks off both boxes, driꦛving for the two most legendary ꦰteams.

“By the way, at the moment, it seems in perfo💮rmance terms to be the right ⭕decision for him.

“Maybe♒ he will make an amazing move like 12 years ago when he 🦩moved from McLaren to Mercedes.

“McLaren൲ were winning races, Mercedes were nowhere.

“The moment he moved, McLaren went backwards and Mercedes s𒆙tarted winning races. Maybe he can get the same timing again.”

Hamilton has battled top-notch teammates throughout hi꧒s career including R💞osberg, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button and now George Russell.

Next year at Ferrari, he will be paire🍃d with Charlesꦉ Leclerc in a thrilling-looking combo.

“We ꦺare looking f💧orward to that dynamic,” Rosberg said.

“Ch🅘arles doesn’t seem like someone who is in con🎐flict with his teammate.

“From that point of view, maybe 🐟it won’t be spicy.

“🍒Charles is probably the second-best quaꦆlifier, apart from Max Verstappen.

“So🐠 it will be a tough battle for both. The 🐈level could be similar. It will be great to watch.”

Hamilton’s contract with Ferrari will take him into his 40s. He is already the second-oldest F1 drꦗiver behin❀d Fernando Alonso.

Alonso, soon to be 43, has signed a new deal to remain at Aston Martin so will renew his rivalry with Hamilton in new machin🏅ery in 2025.

Rosberg said about Alonso: “To see him still d💫riving at the best level is incredible.

“It’s only because he’s one of the best drive🐼rs of all time that he’s able to do that.

“Lewis, half a year ago, was maybe still the best on the grid with Verstappen. But the beginni🃏ng of the season has been difficult.

“Lewis can go into his 40s, no problem.”
