Lewis Hamilton: Toto Wolf sends a warning about the clemning of the Ferrari driver after Switch Mercedes | F1 news

Toto Wolf believes that it is not wise for anyone to remove anyone Louis Hamilton in the season of his former driver’s season in Ferrari.

Amid the 2025 disappointing Ferrari season, Hamilton has not registered after the first 10 Grands Prix for his new team since he left Wolf’s Mercedes at the end of last season. His teammate Charles Licerlerk scored three times in third place and leads Hamilton – whose best results are in the enemy – by 25 points in the ranking.

But WOLF, whose team has restored his standard book with world champion Hamilton during 12 seasons in Mercedes, believes that the period of adaptation to the British driver in his new surroundings is only normal.

The Mercedes team manager said in an interview with Bloomberg Hot chase Podcast.

“In 2021, he was great, then the regulations changed, and it became a little more difficult, but he was still doing very high.

“And only by changing the difference, suddenly don’t lose your skills.

“I think everyone needs a period of adaptation. A different car, the different DNA for how to drive that car, a new engineering team needs to start working together and then participate in the continuous development of the car to suit the driving style.

“He is a team of all Italians; he is a British man wandering in there – and it takes time.

Also, we have seen the little style that Lewis was at the beginning of the season, needs to find that Mojo and then the second half of the season were always very strong.

“So Lewis Hamilton never writes.”

“You are always missing someone like Lewis Hamilton.”

Hamilton Wolf has become the most famous in F1, and successful, a partnership between the team leader, where Britain won six of his seven drivers championships while in Silver Siham and the team demanding unprecedented championships eight facilities respectively.

This is the first season since he joined Mercedes in 2013, Wolf has not worked with Hamilton, and Al -Namawi said: “You should always miss a person like Lewis Hamilton.

“We are still close friends. We have given our word to each other that we will remain close friends.

“We are fighting strongly on the right track with gloves because we need to struggle for our difference, and this is the type of base that we have. But outside the path, we spend some time with each other, and we travel with each other, and I do not want to miss the friend you have got for many years.

“The longest relationship of drivers race, 12 years old – you rarely see that in any other sport. When it comes to developing the car, it is clear that he has a lot of experience, and he saw everything and replacing someone like Lewis Hamilton will always be difficult.”

Wolf draws Piaastri’s example in Antonelli evaluation

With George Russell taking over the role of the prominent Mercedes driver after the departure of Hamilton, the Brakley team chose to look at the future for his other seat and strengthened Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli to the highest level of motorsport.

The 18 -year -old has already achieved important teachers early in F1 – pre -marital pole in Miami Sprint in May, then the first two weeks ago in a Canadian GP race won by Russell – while there is definitely on the weekends most challenging so far in his rock campaign.

When asked about the time it is believed to take a young driver like Antonelle to reach the top of his game in F1, Wolf replied: “This has changed in the past few years because it is extremely difficult to manage the tires.

“It is not just the speed – how long you can go in one bosom or in a race – but sponsor the tires to drive the car as quickly as possible at the same time do not slide them and do not make it parked because you lose tons of the time of the roll. This is the restriction of the next young drivers.

“A good example of this is the PiaSSTRI, which leads the championship.

“With Kimi, not all circles are known. This was the first time in Montreal, so it started with huge defects, but the car was good and was able to fast.

“But you may need to look at the three -year program and say that this is the time that a young driver needs to challenge your teammates, and this is also very fast. I mean, George today is among the best drivers in Formula 1. This is something you need to give them, time.”
