Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s shock switch to Ferrari for 2025 will likely 🐻“energise” the final part of his career.

Hamilton’s surprise transfer from Mercedes to Ferrari was confirmed on Thursday evening, ending his 17-year association with the German ♉manufacturer.

The seven-time world champion has spent the entirety of his F1 career dri♑ving for Mercedes.

McLaren were powered by Mercedes, with them having significa♊nt influence given they⛄ didn’t have a works team.

Hamilton then moved to Mercedes in 2013, which proved to be a masterstroke as it resulted in him winning six🐷 titles.

Giving his reaction to the news, Brundle told Sky Sports News: "We've talked to him about it for years, interviews [along the lines of] 'wouldn't you fancy doing a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher and joining Ferrari to make them champions?'

"He's always said 'I've been ဣwith Mercedes, even when I was at McLaren I had Mercedes engines, they're my team and my manufacturer for life'. W🌸hat a story - Lewis Hamilton in a Ferrari."

Brundle thinks it woul🦩d be fooli🤡sh to “write off” Hamilton, who could lead Ferrari to “Schumacher-esque” success in the near future.

"Never write off Lewis Hamilton," Brundle added. "He knows how to win races and championships, and it'll be very Schumacher-esque if he can go there and really drive the team to start winning a lot more races and be champio🏅nship contenders."

"He's had a couple of years🎐 of not winning a rac🅰e and we've seen a couple of other changes he's made, bringing Marc Hynes back, who was his long-time mentor and eyes and ears in the paddock

"☂I think he's probably gone 'I'm going to stop focusing on🎐 all of the things outside of racing and get back to Lewis Hamilton the racing driver'.

"I think this is a wonderful opportunity to motiva💎te him and energise him for this phase of his career."
