Martin Brundle doesn’t believe 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s claim that leav𒆙ing Mercedes for Ferrari in 2025 will be “🦄emotional”.

Hamilton will leave Mercedes after 12 seasons at the end of 2024 to join Ferrari alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc.

𝕴The seven-time world champion reflected on the move during Mercedes’ 2024 car launch last week, describing it was “very surreal” and saying it had been an emotional period for him.

Speaking on the latest episode of the Sky 💝Sports F1 podcast, Brundle dismissed the notion that Hamilton will be sentimental about leaving Mercedes, labelling him as a “winning machine”.

“I don’t buy all of this ‘it’s going to be emotional’, leavꦯing [Mercedes],” he said. “Lewis is a winning machine and that is what he wants to do.

“It is a good contract and he'll be paid a lot of money and get a lot of money, a lot of love. It will be one of the biggest global sports stories in 2025, so I just see pos🃏itives all round.”

Mercedes are yet to decide who will replace Hamilton alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell for 2025.

F2 star Andrea Kimi Antonelli has been mooted as a wildcard option, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Fernando Alonso have been linked in recent weeks.

Brundle🎃 has advised Mercedes to take their time when deciding who will replace 🗹Hamilton.

"E🌠verybody has𝓀 got an opportunity here,” he added. “George Russell has got this shiny confidence, the talent, the speed and the experience to pick up the mantle and be the number one driver at Mercedes-Benz - I have no doubt about that at all.

“It will energise Mercedes, losing Le♔wis and it is an opportunity for them. Act in haste, repent🎉 at leisure, they can wait and see how Kimi Antonelli goes, they got Esteban Ocon I suspect, they've got access to Carlos Sainz and maybe Fernando Alonso.

“Mick Schumacher is also in the gang and 🧸any number of other drivers, so I think they'll see how this season goes, and wh🃏y do they need to jump now? 

“I also think it'll energise Ferrari and Charles Leclerc asဣ well, and us lot talking about it, so I don't see any downsides.”
