Ex-F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has questioned how much 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton will🅺 be able to “contribute” to Ferrari’s suc꧂cess in 2025.

Hamilton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of this season, bringing an end to his long-term association with the German bඣrand.

The seven-time world champion has endured a tough st༺art with Mercedes in 2024, scoring jusꦐt eight points - his worst start to a campaign since 2009.

Schumacher - who raced in F1 between 1997 and 2007 - feels Hamilton doesn’t have the “qualities” 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has.

“He will certainly bring his expertise and insights, but I think Ferrari is al༒ready well on its way. Hamilton won’t be able to contribute too much,” Schumacher told .

“I’m sure Vasseur wouldn’t pay that much money for nothing. He will offer and give Hamilton everything to ensure he c😼an perform.

“Hamilton is of course a seven-time World Champion and a fanౠtastic driver. But I do📖n’t think he has the qualities that Verstappen has.

“I don’t thi🦩nk he is as consistent as Verstappen. And he cann꧟ot get that extra tenth out at any cost.”

Schumacher also questioned Hamilton’s commitment when the car isn’t𒐪 competitive.

“Hamilt♏on has to feel like he can win to be able to d♑rive fast,” he added.

“So the question is will ꦐhe keep up with the times when the new rules come in? Because with new rules, the driving style also changes, and he may have difficulty with that.”

Former Renault boss - and manager of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso - Flavio Briatore💧 has also raised similar concerns.

“He is one of those drivers who doesn’t put much effౠort into it if the car isn’t good,” he told RAI.
