Lewis Hamilton: The director of the Mercedes Toto Wolf team has a “undoubted” magic still with the Ferrari driver | F1 news

The director of the Mercedes Toto Wolf team still has “Lewis Hamilton” magic for high level after a difficult start in Ferrari.

Charles Licork has greatly outperformed Halmon after six rounds, but she was more competitive at the end of last week in Miami, where he ranked third in the enemy race and the tail of his Ferrari colleague in the main race, albeit in the eighth.

The three weekends of the race witnessed before that that Hamilton lost because of his answers because he was unable to overcome the leclerc in competitive sessions, and the seven -time champion said after the Saudi Grand Prix in April, it would be “painful” 2025.

“I think we have seen this magic in the enemy’s race in Shanghai. He was completely dominated by this race,” said Wolf, who spent 12 seasons in the Hamilton race in Mercedes.

“It is not as if you have magic in one race and suddenly you lose magic in the next magic. I think very much it is still there.

“If he align all the contributors to the performance and feels that in the appropriate space and the car it appeals to it, it will be excellent. I have no doubt.”

Despite his struggles, Hamilton is only 12 points behind the Leclerc before the Great Emilia Romagna race this weekend in IMola.

Hamilton’s inability was not in a pace of Luclek in a specific area, and Wolf believes that his former driver will re -discover his best forms.

“I am also not surprised that he had these bumps on the roads. He was 12 years old – the way to work. He was placed in Ferrari, where his teammate was a long time,” Wolf continued.

“It is clear that his teammate is one of the very good things. So from outside and talking to him, it is a path that any new driver needs to move forward in a big team.”

Wolf is still “great friends” with Hamilton

Earlier this year, Wolf said he felt he had three drivers while watching Hamilton’s progress in the Australian Grand Prix, which opens the season, as well as his drivers in Mercedes.

The German confirmed that he is still talking to Hamilton away from the ring.

“We are still great friends with Lewis. I spent a lot of time with him, traveled, and I still see him,” he said.

“It has reached a point last year, as you know, it is like spending 12 years in a row on vacation with your best friend. At a certain stage you say, well, you may do something else this time.

“And Louis, he needed to activate, re -invention. Ferrari is creative, and there is no doubt. Certainly he also got interesting conditions for him.”

Russell: It is not good to see Hamilton struggle

Hamilton’s lack of strong and strong results is a continuation of his last year in Mercedes, where he ended his teammate George Russell in the tournament and was qualified 19-5.

Russell believes that people “reduce the difficulty of formula 1” and how difficult it is to adapt to a new team.

“He is a hero, he is a winner, and he is in a situation where he cannot achieve this.”

It is not easy to accept. If he is smiling with a big smile, you will wonder why a big smile.

“I have a lot of respect for him and I love him personally. It is not good to see someone who does not enjoy.

“But why should he enjoy it? Because for him it is not related to money, it is about the results. And he does not click on it at the present time, but I am sure that he will click at one point.”
