New information has been revealed about the future of Peter Bonnington, who will stay at Mercedes instead of following 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari.

‘Bono’ has been promoted into a new job, head of race engineering, at Mercedes which ends any chance of him going to Ferrari i🍃n 2025 alongside Hamilton.

Bono is the long-time race engineer for Ham💯ilton at Mercedes buꩲt could be entrusted with a crucial task when the seven-time F1 champion departs next season.

“They are an iconic pairing,” Sky Sports News’ Craig Slater reported. “It was Bonnington that woul🍰d call out over team radio ‘it’s hammer time!’

“The two shared the podium at Silverstone when Lewis claimed his first victory in🗹 a couple of years. They have a great personal rel𒉰ationship.

“There were n🎀ever any serious talks about him leaving Mercedes for Fer🧔rari.

“He is still on the best of terms with hamilton. I hav🙈e learned that Lewis is extremely pleased that Bℱonnington has got this promotion.

“They w𝄹ill continu꧑e working together for the rest of this season.

“There w🅠as speculation that he was someone Lewis might want to tempt from Mercedes to Ferrari. Not th👍e case.

“It is important he stays at Mercedes because there is serious potential for Kimi Antonelli - who will only be 18 if Mercedes replace Hamilton with him in the seat next year - my understanding is that Bonnington is seen aꦯs having the perfect resume to guide Antonell🤡i through a high-pressure situation in a debut season.”

Teenage st✃arlet Antonelli is the obvious choice to sit alongside George Russell 🍰in 2025 in a new-look Mercedes driver duo, although it remains unconfirmed.

Having Bono in his ear during races would allow Antonelli to learn from hisಌ huge amount of experience.

Bono has worked alongside Hamilton for 12 years, spanning six drivers’ titles and eight🌸 constructors’ titles.

He previously acted as Michael Schumacher’s race engineer during the legend’s stayಌ witওh Mercedes.

Hamilton has a ‘non poaching clause’ which means he cannot take important Mercedes♈ colleagues with him to Ferrari next year, wuqian0821.com understands.

Hamilton will, therefore, have a new race engineer when he joins Ferrari next season𒈔.
