Lewis Hamilton will go to Ferrari next year in what is already the move of the Century in F1, to the greatest rival of his current and great “family”, as he always calls Mercedes. And in the press conference he did with George Russell at the Brackley team hospitality at the Emilia-Romagna GP, the English driver identified one of the drivers who looks like a possible replacement for the Englishman at Mercedes, Carlos Sainz.
MD asked the Englishman if he thought Carlos could be his ideal replacement at Mercedes. And given such an opportunity to leave a positive message about the work Sainz is doing, the Briton wants to go further and defend the choices of the young Italian talent from the Mercedes academy, Andrea Kimi Antonelli. In this way, he wants to be politically correct, supporting a young talent he knows from the academy of his current team, although at the same time praising Sainz’s talent and how much he can contribute to the star team .
“I think Carlos Sainz is a great driver, so wherever he goes it would be positive for any team,” he first said, and then gave his opinion on what he would do in the place of Toto Wolff, Team Principal of Mercedes.
“Honestly, I have no idea what Toto’s plans are, but for me, signing a young man is the right step. If it was my job, my duty, I would probably sign Kimi,” argued despite Antonelli’s lack of experience. , making his F2 debut after skipping the natural step into Formula 3. But as Lewis said, that wasn’t his decision. It depends on Toto Wolff, who highly appreciates the work, speed, experience and future of Carlos Sainz with a good start to the season.
