Toto Wolff is not surprised by Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton is in the spotlight of global sport after announcing his split from Mercedes at the end of 2024.

In addition, the pilot, who won the 7-time championship title in Formula 1, will start cooperation with Ferrari from 2025.

This news, however, did not surprise Toto Wolff, the head of Mercedes, who stated in an interview that he periodically meets with Lewis Hamilton and that he would have already conveyed his decision.

At the same time, he also explained what the next steps Mercedes will take before the start of the new season.

“With Lewis we’ll do it like in rugby, we’ll go head-to-head but then we’ll respect each other, we’ll be fair with both drivers this year. Russell can lead the team in 2025. We are looking for a co-pilot and we are in no rush.

We are focusing primarily on 2024. There are many options. We will look for the best for the team, we haven’t spoken to anyone yet, I don’t know if we will get someone young or an experienced rider.” he said.
