Toto Wolff has revealed his motivation is fuelled from “personal anger” to deliver Lewis Hamilton a record-breaking eighth F1 title.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff expressed his frustration over Lewis Hamilton’s missed chance to win the eighth F1 world championship in 2021 due to a rule misinterpretation. Since then, Hamilton has struggled to win a race, while his former rival Max Verstappen claimed two more championships. Wolff emphasized his determination to help Hamilton secure that elusive eighth title and his personal motivation to undo the disappointments of 2021. Despite Hamilton’s age, turning 39 in January, Wolff believes he can continue racing in F1 beyond his current two-year contract extension. However, Wolff stressed the importance of providing Hamilton with a competitive car since his skills and race craft remain exceptional.
