Toto Wolff wants Lewis Hamilton to get revenge for losing to Max Verstappen at 2021 Abu Dhabi before his Ferrari move

Lewis Hamilton confirmed his move to Ferrari in 2025 before the beginning of the 2024 season. However, the Briton hasn’t won a race with Mercedes in the past two seasons, following the controversial 2021 season finale at the Abu Dhabi GP. Hence, amidst the move, Toto Wolff has sided with the 39-year-old to ‘avenge’ the 2021 championship result during his ultimate season at Brackley.

Toto Wolff recalled the 2021 Abu Dhabi season finale when Max Verstappen‘s win created massive controversy in the sport. However, the Briton’s move to Ferrari in the subsequent year leaves only one year to get ‘revenge’ for the 2021 results.

Looking from a ‘friend’s perspective’, Wolff asserted that Hamilton deserved an eighth title victory as that was ‘taken away’ from the seven-time world champion. Hence, a 2024 title victory for the Briton would be a great thing for his legacy. However, from a competitive point of view, Toto Wolff would rather have Mercedes win races regardless of the title fight down the season.

The friend side in me that says he should have an eighth because that was taken away from him. So if he wins that in 2024, that would be a great thing. Going forward, competing on track, I’d rather us win.

Wolff said, as reported by silverarrows.net.

Moving ahead to the 2025 season and forward, the team would be working hard for the drivers’ and constructor’s championship but obviously with a different driver according to Wolff. However, not winning the championship wouldn’t take from the historic legacy that the Briton has achieved in his 17-year career in Formula 1.

We will be giving it everything we have to win drivers’ and constructors’ championships in the years to come in the same way as we want to win it in 2024, but maybe with another driver. But it doesn’t take anything away from historic legacy that will always exist.Discover: Ralf Schumacher claims Lewis Hamilton didn’t join Ferrari to imitate Michael SchumacherLewis Hamilton in a different car is a completely different story for Toto Wolff

Lewis Hamilton’s eighth championship triumph would be extraordinary as the Briton would break the previous world record of most championship wins held by the legendary Michael Schumacher. However, winning this title with Mercedes would be very special, considering the 2021 results, as Hamilton lost the championship under Mercedes’ racing suit.

However, if Hamilton were to not win the 2024 championship title, further title wins would be a completely different story for the Mercedes’ boss. The team’s comments about ‘giving it all for an eighth was an eighth championship for Lewis Hamilton and not the team. Hence, the Austrian boss was concerned only with the seven-time world champion’s victory with Brackley and not Ferrari.

When we talked about giving it all for an eighth, that is Lewis in a Mercedes. Lewis in a different car is obviously a totally different story.

Hamilton has asserted that he would try his best to maximize results for his ultimate season within Mercedes. The 39-year-old has a love for Brackley unlike other teams as the seven-time world champion has attained six titles with the team. Hence, leaving Mercedes was definitely a very difficult task for the F1 icon.

Fortress Poland: Country begins construction of £1.9bn ‘East Shield’ lining its borders with Russia and Belarus with anti-tank fortifications, AI-powered surveillance and anti-drone systems

Poland has begun building a £1.9billion ‘East Shield’ along its borders with Russia and Belarus, in an effort to protect NATO’s eastern flank as tensions simmer amid the war in Ukraine. The 400-mile-long construction will include anti-tank fortifications, bunkers and other obstacles built to physically defend the border and control movement at a time when US support for Europe’s defence is expected to wane as Donald Trump takes office in January. Trump, who last week won the US presidential election, has repeatedly said he would ‘end’ Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on his first day in office, adding that he also plans on cutting aid to Kyiv, despite the US being a top financial and military backer. His team has also reportedly considered the idea of creating an 800-mile buffer zone across the front line that would be marshalled by EU and UK troops.
