168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg has told Mercedes not to give their backing to Andrea Kimi Antonelli to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton too hastily.

Teenage starlet Antonelli is among the likeliest candidates to step into Hamilton’s shoes wit🎀h Mercedes in 2025.

Hamilton is leaving for Ferrari, creating a coveted vacancy and givi⛦ng Toto Wolff a massive decision to make.

But Hamilton’s ex-Mercedes ꦬteammate R💮osberg thinks Wolff should delay his call.

“Antonelli is definitely a superstar of the future. But, unfortunately, timing-wise it is too earl🐟y for him.” Rosberg told Sky Sports.

“And too early for Toto. He needs to wait until somewhat later in the year, as we see how Antonelli does in Formuඣla 2.

“He needs a strong season in Formula 2 to e𒊎ven make it a possibi🍷lity of going straight to Mercedes.

“Otherwise, if 🧸anything, some time at Williams would make s♓ense.”

Signs that Antonelli is being seriously considered for a step into F1 next season ramped up t🔯his week, when he took part in a private test of a 2021 Mercedes W12 at the ꦉRed Bull Ring in Austria.

The 17-year-old is due 🐷to drive the 2022 car later this year, too.

Mercedes missed out on a teenag꧑e Max Verstappen so their 🍸interest in Antonelli arguably suggests they don’t want to make the same mistake twice.

Fernando Alonso is no longer available after he penned a fresh contract wi🦋th Aston Martin.

Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris🧸 are committed t💜o Ferrari and McLaren respectively.

Carlos Sainz, who Hamilton will displ🐠ace at Ferrari, is still🎐 on the market.

Wolff has𝄹 ღsaid: “You can look at it from various perspectives.

“I believe that we are in a rebuild phase. You need to acknowledge that now three years into these regulations, we have got to do things differently than we've done in the past without throwing overboard what we believe is goodness in the way we o꧒perate.

“It could mean putting a young driver in there and giving him an opportunity with less pressure than fighting for victorie🐭s immediately, ꧅or putting a more experienced driver in the car that can help us dig ourselves out of the current performance picture.”
