Mercedes chiefs’ claims that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton stilꦫl retains his genius behind the wheel will be music to Ferrari’s ears.

Hamilton will join Ferrari in 2025, who can profit from the brilliance that his closest allies insist he still h♓as.

Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes to Ferrari

Peter Bonnington has formed the best-ever race engineer and driver partnershi🤪p in Formula 1 with Hamilton but was still s𓄧hocked to see him reach P4 in Abu Dhabi.

“None of the strategy plans showed us getting quite so far ahead,” Bono told Sky Spo📖rts.

Mercedes trackside engineer Andrew Shovlin added: “☂You saw in Vegas how good he is at🌃 chasing down a gap.

“He has been quick𝐆 all w✃eekend but we let him down in qualifying. We should have started further up the grid.

“It was nice to finish with a really strong drive from Lewis, who has cle𝓡arly still got it.

“🌼He is deಌtermined to keep going, keep winning races, keep adding to his record. We will be cheering him on.”

Shovlin reacted to Toto Wolff’s fury after a bad qualifying: “To be fair, we didn’t do a good enough job. We know what we’re here to do, and the standards we operate to. The bigger thing was that we’d put a lot🎃 of work into making this a weekend to remember for Lewis, and we were sad that we dropped the ball.”

Bono delivered his famous “it’s hammer time” radio plea before Hamilton completed his ꦫbrilliant driv𒀰e in Abu Dhabi.

“We just needed the Lewis magic,” Bono said. “He’s a Sunday man. He 🧜performed as well as♛ he always does.

“For him to have that belief in us? 𒀰We knew that we had a competitive programme coming up with the V6 engine and the chassis. We didn’t think it’♛d be quite so strong.

“That partnership with Lewis? The record says thওe story.”

Nico Rosberg praises Lewis Hamilton

Former teamma♍te and rival Nico Rosberg said about the emotional post-rac♌e goodbyes: “It’s so powerful to see these moments. Amazing work that Lewis found from inside the car.

“It’s beautiful, the story that they wrote.”

Danica Patrick said: “What a rollercoaster of a weekend. The struggles they’ve had to be fast ever🍌y weekend✅.

“He was running well, then qualifying happened. He didn’t have a good qualifying - they sent him out to🧔o late, he got into traffic, picked up the bollard.

“Then he starts at the back, gets the race going, then had a🙈 chance at a podium!

“I don’t know if it was the chosen route but it made it exciting to✨ watch.”

Rosberg added: “The way he drove was the driꦰve of a seven-time wor🧜ld champion and the greatest of all time.

“He passed George, who had started at the front. A phenomenal d♚riꦉve from Lewis.”

Hamilton will form a strong partner💮ship with Charles Leclerc at Ferrari in 2025, under Fred Vasseur’s leadership.

Mercedes’ new era will have George Russell as their senior driver, with ඣrookiꦑe Kimi Antonelli replacing Hamilton.
