F1: sensational rumors about Lewis Hamilton, comes Toto Wolff’s denial
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff: “There has been no contact with any other driver to replace Lewis Hamilton.”
Lewis Hamilton remains at Mercedes. In recent weeks, British media had spoken of a possible farewell at the end of the season for the seven-time world champion, linked to some phone calls that German team boss Toto Wolff allegedly made to some potential replacements. But it was the Silver Arrows boss himself who denied it.
“None of this is true. I have had no contact with other drivers, Hamilton at the moment is the most positive and happy of the group,” Wolff assured Motorsport-Total. In December we fought for a world championship, and four months later we have a car that is not capable of winning the championship. But he immediately said that the solution was not to leave.”
