Questions have arisen about Mercedes’ attractiveness to potential 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton replacements after a dreadful F1 Australian Grand Prix.

Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell were both unable to finish the race, the latest setback in a season which has star𓄧ted badly for the team.

Hamilton was left frustrated by an engine issue which caused an early retiremenꦇt before Russell crashed out on the last lap.

The wider picture is that Mercedes ඣare s🌳eeking a replacement for Ferrari-bound Hamilton for 2025.

But, they are also under pressure to prove themselves as a worthy destination for a top dri﷽ver.

“Tough times for Mercedes,” Sky Sports’ Naom🦋i Schiff reacted.

“This is the third season in the era of new F1 cars and ꦬthey haven’t quite got on top of it.

“Besides the fact that they had a mechanical issue, and George had an issue, they🍸 didn’t have the pace that they needed.

“The car is so unpredictable for the team to understand. Whether it’s one side of the garage or not, it still doesn’t have the pace that they need to chal𓂃lenge. It’s a tough one.

“Lewis is going to Fer𒊎rari and they need to be a team with appeal for whoever they might give that seat to in the future.

“At the moment, is Merce🐎des a team✤ that drivers want to go to?

“They♌ finished second in the championship last year but we need to see them moving forwards𒅌 to be an attractive proposition.

“At th🌼e moment, it doesn’t seem that t🎀hey have the situation under control.”

Ironically the winne🍌r of the F1 Australian Grand Prix, Carlos Sa🧸inz, is out of a job next year because Hamilton will replace him at Ferrari.

Sainz is on the ma🍷rket and could come into consideration for ♛Toto Wolff.

Aston Martin driver Fernand⛎o Alonso is a big-name possibility while Alpine’s Esteban Ocon has been mentioned as a stopgap solution.

Andrea Kimi Antonell♉i, Mercedes’ teenage junior driver who is currently in Formula 2, is also an option.

But before Wolff even makes his huge decision, Mercedes know that they mus🌱t rectify a bad weekend in Australia to get Hamilton’s final season with the team back on course.
