Ex-F1 team owner Eddie Jordan has labelled Ferrari’s decision to replace 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton as “absolutely suicidal”.

2025 is here, which means Hamilton is officially a Ferrarꦫi F1 driver, while Sainz has begun life at W🐬illiams.

However, Hamilton’s shock switch to Maranello for the upcoming🅘 season has been questioned b💝y Jordan.

The decisio༺n to sign Hamilton was made ahead of the 2024 campaign, which was arguably the seven-time world champion’s most disappointing season to date.

On the other hand, Sainz enjoyed a great final year with Ferrari as they narrowl🌞y missed out on the constructors’ title, finishing 13 points behind McLaren.

Speaking on the  podcast, Jordan an👍d co-host David Coulthard picked out their “FFS moment” of the year.

Coulthard said: “It’s the FFS moment,🅰 the ‘for f**k’s🉐 sake moment of the year’.

“So for me, I think the FFS moment of the year was Lewis signing to Ferrari. I just never saw that coming. What was your FFS momeꦬnt of the year?”

Jordan agreed with Coulthard but gave a more damnin♋g ve✱rdict on the decision made by Ferrari.

The 76-year-old said: “🐬We’re on the same page here, because my FFS is, I say to John Elkann, who’s the chairman o🌟f that group, what the f**k was he thinking about in getting rid of Carlos, when he had a very happy, friendly, structured team that knew how to work together. The drivers got on well together.

“Fred Vasseur had a real🌜 opportunity to bring this team great, great success. Now he has to start thinking about gelling and mending away, that he can get a new m🌄ember of the team, egos, everything involved.

“Lewis is a particularly nice person. I’m not༒ sure there’s many nicer people on the grid than Lewis Hamilton, so I don’t think he’ll have a problem there.

“However, my FFS goes to John Elkann of Ferrari for even authorisi꧟ng, s🌳igning off on that deal. It was absolutely suicidal to get rid of Carlos.”
