168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s ex-teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Rosberg has deli🅘v♉ered his first verdict on the driver move that has rocked Formula 1.

Hamilton will swap Mercedes for Ferrari next year, uniting F1’s most su🔯ccess🌞ful driver with its most successful team.

Rosbꦇerg, who drove alongside Hꦍamilton at Mercedes and edged him to the 2016 F1 title, has reacted to his former teammate’s upcoming switch.

“Of cours✃e, it came as a huge surprise,” Rosberg told Sky Sports. “No-one expected it, and I didn’t expect it either.

“But if you look at the grand scheme of t🌠hings, 🎶then why not?

“It’s towards the🎉 end of his career. Two legendary teams - Mercedes and🌟 Ferrari.

“I know Lewis is a fan o⛦f Ferrari road cars, also.

“☂So why not make that switchꦆ and have a different experience, driving in red.

“Then he ticks off both boxes,ℱ driving foꦅr the two most legendary teams.

“By the way, at the moment, it seems in pe𒊎rforma🎐nce terms to be the right decision for him.

“Maybe hꦕe will make an amazing move like 12 years ago when he moved from McLaren to Mercedes.

“McLaren wer💟e winning races, Mercedes were nowhere.

“The moment༺ he moved, McLaren went backwards and Mercedes started winning races. Maybe he can get the same timing ♕again.”

Hamilton has battled top-notch teammates throughout his career including Rosberg, Fernando Alo♛nso, Jenson Button and now George Russell.

Next year at Fer🗹rari, he will be paired wi🌃th Charles Leclerc in a thrilling-looking combo.

“Weꦍ are looking forward to that dynamic,” Rosbe꧃rg said.

“Charles doesn’t seem like someone who is in conflict with his tea♑mmate.

“Fr𒈔om that point of view, maybe it won’t be spicy.

“Charles i🔯s probably the second-best qualifier, apart from Max Verstappen.

“So it will be a tough battle for both. The level cou𝕴ld be similar. It will be gr🍎eat to watch.”

Hamilton’s contract with Ferrari wi🔯ll take him into his 40s. He is already the second-oldest F1 driver behind Fernando Alonso.

Alonso, soon to be 43, has signed a new deal to remain at Aston Martin so will renew his rivalry with Hamiltonꦰ in new machinery in 2025.

Rosberg said about Alonso: “To see ܫhim still driving at🎉 the best level is incredible.

“It’s only because he’s one of the best drivers ⛄of♌ all time that he’s able to do that.

“Lewis, half🐻 a year ago,𒆙 was maybe still the best on the grid with Verstappen. But the beginning of the season has been difficult.

“Lewis can go into his 40s, no problem.”
