168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s ex-teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Rosberg has deliverꦗed his first verdict on the driver move that has rocked Formula 1.

Hamilton will swap Mercedes for Ferrari next year, uniting F1’s m🍬ost successful driver with its most succesꦺsful team.

Rosberg, who drove alongside Hamilton at Mercedes and edged him to the 2016 F1 title, has🅘 reacted to his former teammate’s upcoming𒆙 switch.

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

“But if you lo🏅ok at the grand scheme🦄 of things, then why not?

“It’s towards the end of his career. Tw🍸o legendary teams - Merce💙des and Ferrari.

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

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

“Then he ticks off both boxes, driving for th🦋e two most legendary teams♒.

“By the way, at the moment, it▨ seems in performance terms to be the right decision for him.

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

“McLaren were winning ra🃏ces, Mercedes were nowhere.

“The moment he moved, McLaren went backwards and Mercedes started winning races. Maybe he🔴 can g꧙et the same timing again.”

Hamilton has battled top-notch teammates t🙈hroughout his career including Ros💦berg, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button and now George Russell.

Next year at Ferrari, he will be paired with Char🌊les Leclerღc in a thrilling-looking combo.

“We are looking forward to tღhat dynamic,” Rosberg said.

“Charles doesn’t seem like someone who is in conflic🔯t with his teammate.

“From that point of view, maybe i🌜t won’t be spicy.

“Charles is probab🌊ly the second-best qualifier, apart from Max 🔴Verstappen.

“So it will be a tough battle for both. The🌊 level could be sim🉐ilar. It will be great to watch.”

Hamilton’s contract with Ferrari will take him into his 40s. He is alrea🅠dy the second-oldest F1 driver beh🐻ind 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 ne💝w machinery in 2025.

Rosberg said a🌺bout Alonso: “To see him still driving at th🥃e best level is incredible.

“It’s only because he’s one of the best drivers of♓ all time tha💟t he’s able to do that.

“Lewis, half a year ago, was maybe still the best on the grid with Verstappen. But the beginning of the season has been difficꦦult.

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