Toto Wolff, the mastermind behind the Mercedes team, has stirred up the Formula 1 world with his recent revelations about his relationship with the seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton. Despite their fierce on-track rivalry, Wolff admitted to still advising Hamilton on his love life, including his flirtatious escapades with women.
In a jaw-dropping interview, Wolff disclosed the behind-the-scenes dynamics between himself and Hamilton, highlighting their deep bond forged over 12 years of working together. “When Hamilton decided to leave, the situation could have turned awkward, almost hostile,” Wolff revealed. “We all made an effort to be accommodating and understanding. He remains a friend; during race weekends, he drops by our hospitality, grabs a bite, chats with the engineers. Often after the race weekend, we fly home together with Valtteri Bottas and George Russell. The ‘gang’ reunites.”
Despite their camaraderie off the track, Wolff made it clear that when it comes to racing, his goal is to beat Hamilton. “I’ve told Lewis straight up that we want to defeat you on the track, no doubt about it,” Wolff stated. However, their professional rivalry has not overshadowed their personal connection, with Wolff even mentoring Hamilton on his romantic pursuits. “He still asks me for advice on his flirts and which girls to go out with. I guide him, and then I ask him to tell me how it went,” Wolff shared.
The revelation of this unique dynamic between Wolff and Hamilton has left fans and pundits alike in disbelief. As the Mercedes and Ferrari battle heats up on the track, the off-track relationship between Wolff and Hamilton adds a fascinating layer of intrigue to the already intense Formula 1 season. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds both on and off the track in the world of Formula 1.
