11.02.2025
Hamilton`s departure from Mercedes will become a new beginning, Wolff believes. The Executive Director of the Mercedes spoke out that the transition of Lewis to Ferrari should benefit both himself and the German team, which thereby discovering a new chapter and will move on.
This decision was correct for both sides. When we saw the photos from the first visit of Hamilton to Ferrari, this photo against the backdrop of the house of Enzo Ferrari-there is something cult. Lewis has his own style, and I already told him all this.
At the same time, we decided to go the other way, trying to create a new team with a young racer-and this is in addition to George Russell, whom, for some reason, few mentions. We have a senior, more experienced racer who has already won the Grand Prix, and there is a young pilot. So yes, this was the beginning of something new for both sides, ”said Wolff.
