Mercedes may have a “political” reason not to opt for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz to replace 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton, Sky Sports experts have argued.

Hamilton’s con♏firma💙tion that he will go to Ferrari in 2025 means that Sainz will be out of a drive.

Sainz is loꩵoking for a new seat next year - he finished on the podium last weekend in Bahrain, and was the only non-Red Bull driver to win a grand prix in 2023.

🍸But Mercedes might not fancy 💙employing him to replace Hamilton.

“He’s come from𒅌 Ferrari,” expl🌳ained Damon Hill on Sky Sports.

“Would Mercedes be comfortable taking someone who 🍸haꦓs been - not rejected - but passed over?

“Politically, that 💫mig𒀰ht not be so attractive for them.”

Martin Brundle added: “The problem isꦿ: if you are Mercedes-Benz, [Sainz] has been kicked out of Ferrari.

“Does it have the right fe💖el to take, sort of, Ferrari’s cast-off…

“Even if it was for Lewis 🎉Hamilton. That’s the cruel a▨spect of this.

“I think the kid’s world-class and I think 🎃he’llꦅ get a good seat.”

Instead, a different opti🌺on has been recommended to ꦯMercedes.

Ex-F1 champ Hill said: “I 🐻think Alex Albon would fit really well in that team.

“He’s mature, I think he’s go꧅t experience. He’s still youജng and quick.

“And I think that he’d fit in really well in th𓆏at Mercedes team, and would understand the culture, and have a good relationship with George Russell, and be quick and be able to deliver points.”

Albon is contracted to Williams until the en𒅌d of 2025.

He exclusively told us an amusing tale about his friend Russell f💎oiling his plan to seek inside-information about Hamilton’s switch to Ferrari.

Sainz, meanwhile, continues to seaꦿrch for a new seat for 2025.

He is unlikely to be short of offers especially after a podium finish in Bahrai🔯n.

The uncertainty at Red Bull means a seat may open there, while Aston Martin could be an option if Fernaꦕndo Alonꦿso leaves.

Audi (currently running as Sauber, until 2026) have long been mentioned as a realistic landing spot for Sa🐭inz.
