168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton reckons former F1 rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel would be an “amazing option” ဣfor Mercedes to replace him.

The seven-time world champion ౠis quitting Mercedes at the end of the year to complete a blockbuster switch to Ferrari, leaving a vacated seat at the German manufacturer for 2025.

Vettel, who retired from F1 in 2022, is just one name who has been linked with Mercedes. The 36-year-old German has admitted he is th💫inking about making a r꧋eturn to the sport.

And Hamilton, who battled then-Ferrari driver Vettel for the 🧔2017 and 2018 world titles, says he “would love” to see the four-time world champion return to Fꦜ1.

"I would love for Seb to come back and I think it would be an amazing option for the team," Hamilton said ahead🌼 of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.

"German driver, multi-world championship winning driver, and someone who h🎶as amazing values who would continue to take the team forward. I'd love it if he came back.”

Several drivers including the likes of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz - both of whom are out of꧅ contract - have been linked with the Mercedes seat.

Mercedes could also promote thei🌠r teenage protege Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who is believed to be Toto Wolff’s first choice replacement for Hamilton.

But a quick-fire F✱1 graduation for the 17-year-old🐲 Italian depends on how he gets on in his rookie Formula 2 season.

"The only thing I really care about is🗹 that the team takes on someone that with integrity and that are aligned with the team and where the team'♛s going,” Hamilton added.

“Someone compassionate that's able to work with great people and 🔥continues to lift them up. There's so many great 𝐆people in this team.

"And as drivers... there are some that are more selfish than others, there ar♍e some that are good drivers but perhaps not the best within the team environment, I don't know because I'm not been in with all of them. But I hope they find someone great.

"They'v🎶e already got George and he's perfect so finding a good option alongside him I'm sure they've got so many good options. They've got so many options. I do think it's always great to give an opportunity to up and coming drivers so the idea of a youngster coming in for me is exciting."
