Mercedes announce Hamilton change ahead of Las Vegas GP

Mercedes have announced a Lewis Hamilton change ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The champion is all set to compete in his final three races with Mercedes, as he prepares to move to Ferrari in 2025.

Hamilton’s recent results in Austin, Mexico and Brazil have left the champion frustrated, and he has delivered a series of defeated post-race interviews as he appears puzzled by Mercedes’ struggles.

The Brit will be replaced at Mercedes by youngster Kimi Antonelli, who will make his full-time debut in 2025.

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz won the US and Mexican GPs respectively, helping their team jump past Red Bull into second in the constructors’ championship.
