1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve believes it’s important 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton ‘starts afresh’ when he switches t🌺o Ferrari for the 2025 season.

Haꦜmilton will race in Ferrari red for the first time in March’s Australian Grand Prix.

And his first outing for Ferrari will be wi🐻thout trusty race engineer Peter ‘Bono’ Bonni🦂ngton.

Bono will not be following🔴 Hamilton to Ferrari, meaning the seven-time world champion will have a new race engineer for the first time since 2012.

Th💝e pair have a great relationship, with the partnership resulting in six world titles for Hamiltܫon at Mercedes.

Bono also introduced the fan favourite phrase𓄧 ‘Hammertime’.

However, Bonnington has been promoted to a new role as heaಞd of race꧂ engineering at Mercedes.

, Villeneuve explained why starting completely fresh isn’t a bad thing.

“🉐When you do a big move you start afresh like Lewis Hami♔lton is, it means you don't go with your old engineer or physiotherapist like Angela Cullen,” he said.

“He has won wit༒h McLaren, he's won with Mercedes. So there’s no issue there.”

At the start of 2023, Hamilton lost Angela Cullen - a key membe🐼r of his inner circle.

Cullen was Hamilton’s physiotherapist for a numbe🌳✅r of years during his spell at Mercedes.

Villeneuve added: “I hav💛e no idea how Angel💯a and Lewis worked together.  As far as I was concerned the driver always relied on his engineer, who was the person that was the closest to him on a race weekend.

“That was always the person that you, the driver, could lean on and that's where you build trust. The physio is part of that small group of people that is i🌠n the driver’s confidence loop who they rely on.”
