It’s Wolfchief mercedesalready used in November and in December from 2022 to Fernando Alonso motivate to Lewis Hamilton… and after the disappointing race in Bahrain, the Austrian came back to ‘bite’ the seven-time world champion in Formula 1.
The star’s brand executive believes the Brits are gone “four years of sporting life ahead of me” reach the age of the Asturian, so he believes he will be able “take him to win the eighth title”.
“Alonso? As far as Fernando is concerned, Hamilton has at least four years of sporting life ahead of him, so we will get there. I will do whatever it takes to lead him to the eighth title. Even if I had to get on the track to push it, I would.“, he pointed out in ‘Sky Sports’.
Of course, Wolff didn’t want to get into the renewal process: “I think now is not the time to talk about the pilot’s situation in 2024“.
“Regarding Lewis’ situation, you’ve heard it on the radio before. I think he’s an integral part of the team, that he takes it on, we always fight together“, he added.
Despite Mercedes now being the fourth car on the F1 grid, Toto believes Hamilton remains 100% focused on the team.
“I don’t think that’s going to change just because I had, again, another bad start. We won eight constructors’ championships and six drivers’ championships with him, it brings people together. These relationships come together,” added the Mercedes boss.
On the track, despite Alonso being nearly 42 and Hamilton 38, the ovetense left him ‘dry’ in an overtaking in the most difficult area of the Sakhir circuit. It is clear that age, for Fernando, is just a number.
