Toto Wolff says his decision to stay on as Mercedes F1 team principal is partly driven by his desire to “beat Red Bull with Lewis Hamilton”.
According to recent reports, Toto Wolff has extended his contract with Mercedes until the end of 2026, while Lewis Hamilton’s contract runs until 2025. Hamilton, who was controversially denied his eighth world title in 2021, is still determined to achieve this record. Wolff has shared early details about Mercedes’ 2024 car, stating that it does not resemble the previous two years’ models. He believes that if Hamilton is given a reliable car, he can regain his position at the front of the pack. Despite Hamilton’s age of 39, Wolff strongly believes he is still capable of winning another championship.
