Toto Wolff believes that it is unreasonable for someone to write Lewis Hamilton in the middle of his former driver’s heavy half-season season in Ferrari.
Adid Ferrari’s own disappointing season 2025, Hamilton still records the podium in his first 10 Grands PRIs for his new team from which he left Wolff’s Mercedes at the end of last season. Team-Mate Charles Leclerc has so far recorded three first three finishes and leads Hamilton – whose best results arrived in two sprints – for 25 points in the table.
But WOLVF, whose team was transcribed by shot books with seven time world chamilton in 12 seasons in Mercedes, believes that the period of adjustment of the British driver in its new environment is only natural.
“Don’t be kept so quick drive,” said director of Mercedes team in an interview with Bloomberg Hot purse Podcast.
“In 2021. He was great, then the regulations have changed and it was a little harder, but it still performed at a very high level.
“And only by changing teams, suddenly don’t lose your skills.
“I think everyone must have a adjustment period. Another car, a different DNA driving that vehicle, a new engineering team you need to start with constant development on the car, so that you suit your driving style.
“It’s an all-Italian team; he is there, a slave British guy – and that takes time.
“Also, we saw a little pattern that Lewis had to find it to be mojo, and then the second half of the season is always very strong.
“So you never write Lewis Hamilton.”
‘There’s always a person like Lewis Hamilton’
Hamilton and Wolff became the most famous and most famous and more successful, Timan chief-driver’s partnership, and Briton beat six of his seven driver championships while in silver arrows and the team claimed that her inheritance was successively.
This is the first season, because it joined Mercedes in 2013. YES WOLFF did not work with Hamilton, and Austrian said, “You always have to miss a person like Lewis Hamilton.
“We are still close friends. We gave our own word to each other that we will remain close friends.
“We hardly fight gloves, because we have to fight our teams and that’s such a rule we have. But we spend some time, and I don’t want to miss a friend and I don’t want to miss my friend.
“The longest relationship driver, 12 years – you rarely see that in any other sport. And when it comes to car development, it is obvious that everything has experienced everything like Lewilton always will always be difficult.”
WOLVF attracts Primer Piaster in Antonelli Assessments
With George Russell, taking the role of Mercedes’ senior driver after Hamilton, Brackley team chose to look at the future of his second seat and promoted the Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli in Motorsport.
The 18-year-old Italian has already achieved two wounds of significant milestones in F1 – Dezerte in Miami, and then the first podium two weeks ago in the Canadian GP, which Russell was also inevitably.
When asked how long he thought he would probably take a young driver like Antonelli to reach the top of his game in F1, Wolff said, that has changed in the last few years because it was so hard to manage the tires.
“It doesn’t only apply to speed – how fast you can go in a single circle – but nurture the tires to drive as fast as you can slide them and you don’t overheat them. It is a time limit for young drivers.
“A good example is Piastra, which leads a championship. It took him a year and a half to Lando Norris and it passed the first year he had edge on it and I only mean the tire management.
“With Kimi, he doesn’t know all the circles. It was the first time in Montreal, so you start with a mass deficiency, but the car was good and could be fast.
“But you probably have a three-year program and you say it’s time that needs a young driver to challenge your experienced teams, who are great today among the best drivers in Formula 1. It’s something you need to give, time.
