Boss Toto Wolff considers Mercedes will be Hamilton’s last team

Boss of Mercedes Toto Wolff believes Sir Lewis Hamilton will end his career with the Mercedes team and affirming there is no more suitable option.

Hamilton leaving McLaren and joined the German outfit back in 2013, it turned out to be a pretty wise decision for his career. Mercedes embarked on a run of dominance in Formula 1 with Hamilton.

Hamilton is now a seven-time World Champion, on the other hand, Mercedes have topped the Constructors’ Championship for the past seven years. He is now chasing an eighth title which would see him surpass Michael Schumacher.

“I think this will be his last team,” Wolff told DPA news agency.

“There is no better place for him than at Mercedes and our wish is also that he continues with us.

“The symbiosis between us is good and we have celebrated so many successes together that from today’s perspective everything speaks in favor of continuing to race together.”

 

“No, no doubt about his commitment,” said Wolff

“First of all, he enjoys racing a lot. We enjoy working with each other and we discussed that a lot, but he’s right. Times change.

“[There are] fresh preferences for all of us in terms of the way we live our health. He’s very passionate about his initiatives against racism and inequality.

“I think it’s fair enough for a driver that has won seven Championships to give himself the flexibility in his mind to decide what he wants to do in the future. Whether this is racing or outside of the circus.”

 

Lewis Hamilton previously said-

“I am excited to be heading into my ninth season with my Mercedes teammates. Our team has achieved incredible things together and we look forward to building on our success even further, while continuously looking to improve, both on and off the track.

“I don’t quit when the going gets tough,” said Hamilton. “I wanted a one-year deal… I’m fully committed to this sport. I think this sport is in the best place it’s been in terms of steps we are taking.

“I love what I’m doing. I’ve arrived more excited than I have in a long time… we’re going to have a great battle, one way or another, and that’s what I’ve always loved.”
