Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, says he has no concerns about Lewis Hamilton moving to another team or out of Formula One altogether when the seven-times world champion’s contract expires at the end of the season.
Hamilton agreed to join Mercedes in 2012 and signed his most recent contract in 2021. At the time, the team was the most successful in the paddock, but Red Bull have taken that mantle over the past two years, with Max Verstappen winning back-to-back drivers’ titles.
There has been speculation that Hamilton may move on if Mercedes’ fortunes do not improve rapidly, but Wolff made it clear that he is comfortable with how things stand and is confident that the relationship will continue.
