Ex-F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has questioned how much 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton will be🍸 able tܫo “contribute” to Ferrari’s success in 2025.

Hamilton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of this seas🌌on, bringing an end to his 🅺long-term association with the German brand.

The seven-time world champion has endured a tough start w🍎ith Mercedes in 2024, scoring just eight points - his worst start to a campaign since 2009.

Schumacher - who raced in F1 between 1997 and 2007 - feels Hamilton doesn’t have the “qualities” 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has.

“He will certainly bring hi♒s expertise and insights, but I think Ferrari is already well on its way. Hamilton won’t be able to contribute too much,” Schumacher told&n▨bsp;.

“I’m sure Vasseur wouldn’t pay that much money for nothing꧒. He will offer and give Hamilton everything to ensure he can perform.

“Hamilꦍton is of course a seven-tim༺e World Champion and a fantastic driver. But I don’t think he has the qualities that Verstappen has.

“I don’t think he is ꦡas consistent as Verstappen. And he cannot get that extra tenth out at any cost.”

Schumacher also questioned ꦐHamilton’s commitment when the car isn’t competitive.

“Hamilꦯton has to feel like he can win to be able to drive fast,” he added.

“So the question is w🐠ill he keep up with the times when the new rules come in? Because with new rules, the driving style also changes, and he mꦫay have difficulty with that.”

Former Renault boss - and manager of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso - Fla🐭vio Briatore has also raised similar concerns.

“He is one of those drive💫rs who doesn’t put much ef𒊎fort into it if the car isn’t good,” he told RAI.
