F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart believes 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton will find his Ferrari move “more d⛎i♋fficult” due to his age.

Seven-time world champion Hamilton shocked the F1 world when he announced in February that he would be leaving Mercedes in order to make a blockbuster switch to Ferr🍃ari in 2025.

Hamilton will be 40 years old when he makes his Ferrari debut at next year’s season opening Australian Grand Prix and three-time world champion St♋ewart says he was “somewhat surprised” by the timing of the move.

🍸"I'm somewhat surprised by💖 that, because of becoming 40 and going into a team that has very recently become very competitive,” Stewart told the RacingNews365 podcast.

"It [Ferrari]🐻 went down quite a lot. There have been many management structures within the Ferrari team that have been disrup﷽tive.

"They've now got a more♑ stable situation around them. And Lewis is seeing, when you go to the Ferrari factory, you're impressed.

"Hardly any other brand, 🌠if you like to call it, in Formula 1, has had anything like the same continuity as Ferrari has had for such a long time.”

Stewart added: “It’s more difficult for him to do it, I think, at 40 yea🐭rs than it would have been 🙈if he was 25 or 30 years.

"But h🌊e's still got the skill and talent. That is obvious at present, such as at the 🌼British Grand Prix this year [Hamilton ending a two-year winless drought].

🌠"It's unusual [going to Ferrari], but at some point he has to retire as a racing driver. He feels that time has not yet arrived, and I can understand that.”

However, Stewart can understand the appeal of driving for Ferrari, having comওe close himself to joining the legendary Italian outfit before backing out of a deal.

"I committed to drive f🅠or Ferrari, but I had to tell them that it was no longer practical because it had become almost an everyday change at Mr Ferrari's moment. So I never did drive with Ferrari,” he explained.

"Bu🐼t when I went there, I was taken aback. It was so impressive. The spirit of the place was amazing. The Italians are great people, they 💮explain themselves very carefully and excitedly, and I'm sure that's what Lewis has experienced too."
