168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg has told Mercedes not to give their backing to Andrea Kimi Antonelli to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton too hastily.

T⛎eenage st🅺arlet Antonelli is among the likeliest candidates to step into Hamilton’s shoes with Mercedes in 2025.

Hamilton is lꩵeaving for Ferrari, creating a coveted vacancy and giving Toto Wolff a massive decision to make.

But Hamilton’s ex-Mercedes teammate Rosberg thinks Wolff should delay ꧟his call.

“Antonelli is definitely a supersꦜtar of the future. But, unfortunately, timing-wise it is too early for him.” Rosberg told Sky Sports.

“And too early for Toto. He needs to wait until somewhat later in the year, as ༒we see how Antonelli does in Formula 2.

“He needs a strong season in Formula 2 to even make it a possibility of going str💫aight to Mercedes.

“Otherwise, if anything, som🥂e time at Williams would make sense.”

Signs that Antonelli is being seriously considered for a step into F1 next season ramped up this we𒁃ek, when he took part in a private test of a 2021 Merced🅠es W12 at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.

The 17-year-old is due to drive the 2022 car later this year,ဣ too.

Mercedes missed out on a teenage ꦍMax Verstappen so their interest in Antonelli arguably suggests they don’t want to make the same mista🐼ke twice.

Fernando Alonso is no l🐟onger available after he penned 𓆉a fresh contract with Aston Martin.

Charles Lecler⛦c and Lando Norris are committed to Ferrari and McLaren respectively.

Carlos Sai🧔nz, who Hamilton will displace at Ferrari, is still on the market.

Wolff has said: “You can lo⛎ok at it from various🌌 perspectives.

“I believe that we are in a rebuild phase. You need to acknowledge that now three years into these regulations, we have got to do things differently than we've done in 🃏the past without throwing overboard what we believe is goodness in the way we opera🍌te.

“It co🍌uld mean putting a young driver in there and giving him an opportunity with less pressure than fighting for victories immediately, or putting a more experienced driver in the car that can help us dig ourselves out of the current performance picture.”
