168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s shock F1 switch fr𒅌om Mercedes to Ferrari has been likened to football star Lionel Messi’s transfer to Inter Miami.

Seven-time world champion Hamilton will team up with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc at Ferrari next season after activating an exit clause in his current Mercedes contrac🦩t to complete one of the ꦦbiggest driver moves in the history of F1.

Williams driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon compared the magnitude of﷽ the news to Argentina forward Messi, considered one of the greatest footballer’s of all time, signing for David Beckham’s Inter Miami last summer.

“It’s great for the spor🔜t,” Albon told the gathered media including mahbx.com. “What a news story it was.

“I didn’t see it coming but good for him♏. I think he wants that change up.

“It just shows you how big Lewis is, seeing the stock of Ferrari going up as much as it did and the general perception of the news, definitely for me it wℱas one of those pinch yourself moments.

“Is this is a🐠 real story? There were so many rumours going around over the winter, you didn’t know what had any credibility൲ or not.

“The Ferrari one definitely seemed t🎐o be a rumour to me until it turned out to be a real thing.

“It reminds me of the [Lionel] Messi to [Inter] Miami transfer - on such a huge scaജle and just shows you the appetite for F1.

“It leaves a l🔥ဣot of questions for the driver market as well and opens that up.”

Albon’s teammate, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant, reckons it will make the driver market “even🎐 crazier💃”.

“I was surprised, I was shocked. Shows Lewis can go wherever h♕e wanꦑts!” He added.

"If that is what he feels will motivate him to keep improving and ultimately try and win another world championship then you have to respect and understand t𒁏he decision.”

Williams team boss J𝔍ames Vowles, who previously worked with Hamilton at Mercedes, expected the move at some point, but admitted the timing caught him off guard.

“The timing came as a surprise to me,” Vowles said. “His want and desire to be in a Ferrari at som💫e point in his career, no [it didn’t surprise me].

"Most world champions have been there or have a desire to get there because it’s a force of nature and still the most successful team i♍n F1. That can’t be ign🌟ored.

“It’s the hardest thing you can do for every human in the world, to move from where you are comfortable to where you are not, challenges you 𓆏and pushes you to the limit, and that’s Lewis all over.

"So the f🌳act he’s doing it will actuallꦰy be good for the sport and it will be good for Lewis because he’ll learn from it and he’ll challenge himself.

“It♏’s not good for Mercedes short term, but they will be absolutely fine🐓 with where they get to on drivers and they’ll come back strong as a result.  Ultimately, it’s a good thing all round.”
