Toto Wolff is facing a significant division between himself and Lewis Hamilton as his long-time partner in the Mercedes team is set to leave for Ferrari.
The Mercedes AMG Patronas team has been making headlines during the post-F1 2023 season break for various reasons. Initially, there was controversy when the FIA investigated the Mercedes Chief for potential conflicts of interest with the Formula One Management. Although the investigation was eventually dropped, Wolff promised to uncover the origin of the serious allegations made against him and his wife Susie Wolff.
Later, a shocking report revealed that Lewis Hamilton, the star driver who achieved six World Championship titles with Mercedes, would be departing from the team. Rumors circulated that Hamilton’s departure was due to Mercedes not offering him a multi-year contract, leading him to explore other options. Mercedes once again gained attention with the launch of their new challenger for the 2024 season.
During the unveiling of the Mercedes W15 on February 18, observers noted the team’s use of a double suspension system, among other innovative features. This may have influenced Toto Wolff’s decision to capture multiple images of the W15. The footage of him taking the photos was shared by the administrator of Mercedes’ official social media page.
As fans eagerly anticipated the release of Toto Wolff’s snapshots of the W15, some jokingly speculated that he may be considering a career change as a photographer after stepping down from his position following Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari. Here are some of the fans’ reactions:
– “He’s so babygirl coded”
– “Plot twist: Toto is admin”
– “Bro retiring from Team manager to become photographer after Lewis goes to Ferrari in 2025”
– “We need to see his snaps”
– “He is just like us. A fan”
In other news, Toto Wolff has repeatedly stated that Mercedes intends to adopt a more traditional approach for the 2024 campaign, moving away from their previous unconventional methods. These methods have not yielded promising results, with Lewis Hamilton’s last Grand Prix victory occurring in 2021 and George Russell failing to secure a race win in 2023.
