The Mercedes Team Principal says he wants to see Lewis Hamilton achieve an eighth World Championship in Formula 1.
Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff is driven by personal anger to help Lewis Hamilton win his eighth Formula 1 World Championship, following the controversial ending of the 2021 title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Despite protesting the incorrect application of the Safety Car rules, Mercedes ultimately withdrew their formal protests. Wolff’s goal now is to make sure Hamilton achieves his eighth title quickly. Hamilton recently signed a contract extension with Mercedes, and as long as he takes care of himself physically and mentally, Wolff sees him continuing beyond 2025. However, he believes that Hamilton needs a competitive car to win championships.
