Nico Rosberg warns Mercedes against quick call over Lewis Hamilton replacement
Nico Rosberg weighs in on the debate about how Mercedes should replace Lewis Hamilt✤on

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Rosberg has told Mercedes not to give their backing to Andrea Kimi Antonelli to replace 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton too hastily.
Teen🍌age starlet Antonelli is among the likeliest candidates to step into Hamilton’s shoes with Mercedes in 2025.
Hamilton💛 is leaving for Ferrari, creating a coveted vacancy and givinꦰg Toto Wolff a massive decision to make.
But Hamilton’s ex-🌱Mercedes teammate Rosberg thinks Wolff should delay his call.
“Antonelli is definitely a 𒆙superstar of the future. But, unfortunately, timing-wise it is too early for him.ꦉ” 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 i🦋n Formula 2.
“He needs ♏a strong season in Formula 2 to even make it a possibility of going straight to Mercedes.
“Otherwise, if anything, some time at Williams would🦄 make sense.”
Signs that Antonelli is being seriously considered for a step into F1 next season ramped up this week, when he took part in a private test of a 2021 Mercedes W12 at the Red Bull Ring in A🅘us🐎tria.
The 17-year-old is due to drive the꧒🉐 2022 car later this year, too.
Mercedes missed out on a teenage Max Verstappen so t🅷heir 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 c✅ontract wi♈th Aston Martin.
Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris are comm🉐itted to Ferrari a💛nd McLaren respectively.
Carlဣos Sai𝄹nz, who Hamilton will displace at Ferrari, is still on the market.
Wolffᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ 🍬has said: “You can look at it from various perspectives.
“I believe t꧅🐼hat 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 operate.
“It could mean putting a young driver in there and giving him an opportunity with less pressure than fighting for victories immediately, or putting a more experienced driver in the car that can help us dig ourselves out of th🐽e current performance picture.”
