Jack Whitehall Takes Hilarious Dig at Mercedes and Toto Wolff Over Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari Move at F1 75

The F1 75 launch event in London’s O2 Arena was an unforgettable spectacle, marking the grand beginning of Formula 1’s 2025 season. With a packed house of fans eagerly waiting to see their favorite teams and drivers, the event was full of surprises, including some cheeky jokes from comedian and host Jack Whitehall. His humor, however, came with a sharp focus on Mercedes and their recently-formed rivalry with Ferrari, especially with Lewis Hamilton’s stunning move to the iconic Italian team.

Whitehall, never one to shy away from making fun of the big names in the sport, couldn’t resist poking fun at Toto Wolff, Mercedes team boss, as he saw Hamilton sitting at the Ferrari table for the first time. In his usual comedic style, Whitehall turned the situation into a hilarious moment for the fans.

“Lewis! Lewis, of course, on the Ferrari table tonight! Yes! Pray for Toto. It’s everyone’s worst nightmare, your partner of ten years running off with an ‘Italian stallion,’” Whitehall quipped, referencing Hamilton’s shocking switch from Mercedes to Ferrari.

The comment, a playful jab at Wolff’s position, had the audience laughing, but it also highlighted just how significant Hamilton’s move to Ferrari was—especially considering his decade-long partnership with Mercedes. The humor wasn’t just a one-off; Whitehall continued his playful teasing throughout the evening.

The Red of Ferrari: Hamilton’s First Official F1 Appearance for Scuderia

The event marked a significant moment for Hamilton’s career, as it was the first official Formula 1 event where fans saw him in the famous Ferrari red. As the seven-time world champion greeted the crowd during Ferrari’s livery reveal, Whitehall made sure to emphasize the magnitude of the moment. “We’re going to be seeing Lewis in the red of Ferrari for the first time ever this evening! What a moment that is going to be,” Whitehall added, setting the stage for a new chapter in Hamilton’s career.

Despite the lighthearted banter, the moment was a historic one for Hamilton fans, as it signaled the beginning of a new era for the driver, now aligned with Ferrari in his quest for another World Championship.

Whitehall’s Playful Jokes at Wolff’s Expense

But Whitehall’s jabs didn’t end there. The comedian continued his teasing, directing a comment at Wolff’s expense once more. In a cheeky twist, Whitehall suggested that Wolff should change his eyeballs to “wets”—a humorous reference to the wet-weather compound tires used in rainy conditions, insinuating that Wolff might be shedding a few tears over Hamilton’s departure to Ferrari. “Toto, I hope you’ve changed your eyeballs to wets,” Whitehall joked.

While the jabs were lighthearted, they certainly added a layer of intrigue to the evening, particularly in the tense world of F1 team dynamics. Both Hamilton and Wolff appeared to take the jabs in stride, smiling throughout the jokes, but it’s safe to say that they weren’t entirely thrilled by the constant digs.

Creating the Scene: F1 75’s Memorable Night

While Whitehall’s humor might have been slightly uncomfortable for some in the audience, it was certainly a moment that made F1 75 even more memorable. The night was filled with light-hearted moments, but beneath the jokes, there was also a sense of excitement and anticipation for the new season. With a packed audience, a livery reveal, and the historic appearance of Hamilton in Ferrari colors, F1 75 will be remembered not just for the unveiling of the 2025 season, but for the dynamic mix of humor, tension, and excitement that surrounded it.

As the 2025 season approaches, it’s clear that Hamilton’s move to Ferrari will be one of the most talked-about stories of the year, and Whitehall’s playful commentary only added fuel to the fire, setting the stage for what could be a thrilling and emotional season for fans and drivers alike.
