168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas has backed former Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to succeed when he moves to Ferrari in 2025.

Hamilton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari after h💙is bombshell move was announced last week, marking an end to his long-term association with Mercedes.

Hamil🎶ton drove for McLaren in his first handful of seasons, powered by Mercedes, before joining their works team in 2013.

While he was criticised for the move at the time, it proved to be inspired as Hamil💟t꧙on went on to win six of his seven world championships at Brackley.

Four of 𒉰them were alongside Bottas, with the pair remaining unbeaten in the F1 constructors’ champ𒁃ionship.

Speaking at the launch of the new Sauber C44 on Monday, Bottas told select media including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:mahbx.com that he never thought Hamilton would move to Ferജrari.

“I never thought it would happen,” he said. “I thought in my mind he would stay at Mercedes, but that's Formula 1. Things happen, and I think that it's good for him because he's obviously made the decision and it's 🧸a fresh, new start.

“It's a big 🀅move in F1, wh🎃ich is going to create some movement as well on the drivers' market for sure.”

Bottas believes it will on🎃ly take a few races before Hamilton is up to speed in his new team next year.

“I think he will. He's got so much experience of the sport. He's dealt with many different people in the sport, I think there's no problem on that,” Bottas sai𝓡d.

“I'm sure it's going to be quite an exciting project for himꦏ to try 𓂃and get to the top together with Ferrari.

“If anyone can d🌊o it, he can do it. ... I think after a fe൩w races already he'll be well settled in and then straight on from there."
