Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes to Ferrari

Peter Bonnington has formed the best-ever race engin💎eer and driver partnersh♛ip in Formula 1 with Hamilton but was still shocked to see him reach P4 in Abu Dhabi.

“None of the strategy plans showed us getting quite so far ahead,”ܫ Bono told Sky Sports.

Mercedes t൲rackside engineer Andrew Shovlin added: “You saw in Vegas how good he is at chasing down a gap.

“He has been quick all w🥀eekend but we let him down in qualifying. We should have started further up the grid.

“It was nice to finish wit꧃h a really strong drive from Lewis, who has clearly still got it.

“He is determined to keep going, keep winning races, 🐽keep adding to his record. We will be cheering him on.”

Shovlin reacted to Toto Wolff’s fury after a bad qualifying: “To be fair, we didn’t do a good enough job. We know what we’re here to do, and the sta𒅌ndards we operate to. The bigger thing was that we’d put a lot♒ of work into making this a weekend to remember for Lewis, and we were sad that we dropped the ball.”

Bono delivered his famous “it’s hammer time” radio plea before Hamilton c♒ompleted his brilliant drive in Abu Dhabi.

“We just needed the Lewis magic,” Bono said. “He’s a Sunday man. He performed as well as he🔥 always does.

“For him to have that belief in us? We knew that we had a competitive program💯me coming up with the V6 engine and the chassis. We didn’t think it’d be quite so strong.

“That partnership with Lewis? The record says the stor🐭y.♔”

Nico Rosberg praises Lewis Hamilton

Former teammate and rival Nico Rosberg said about th🦂e emotional post-race goodbyes: “It’s so powerful to see these moments. Amazin🐲g work that Lewis found from inside the car.

“It’s beautiful, the story that they wrote.”

Danica Patrick said: “🍌What a rollercoaster of a weekend. The struggles they’ve had to be fast e𓃲very weekend.

“He was running well, then qualifying happened. He didn’t have a good qual💎ifying - they sent him out too late, he got into t🌳raffic, picked up the bollard.

“Then he starts at the back, gets the race going, 🅘then had a chance at a podium!

“I don’t know if it was the chosen route 🔜but i🦹t made it exciting to watch.”

Rosberg added: “The way he drove was the d♛rive ofꦫ a seven-time world champion and the greatest of all time.

“He passed George, wh꧙o had started ♒at the front. A phenomenal drive from Lewis.”

Hamilton will form a strong💦 partnership with Cha𝔍rles Leclerc at Ferrari in 2025, under Fred Vasseur’s leadership.

Mercedes’ new era will 💃have George Russell as their senior driver, with rookie Kimi Antonelli replacing Hamilton.
