Toto Wolff backs Lewis Hamilton to become an F1 team principal: “He has the right skills…”
The 38-year-old will remain in F1 until 2025 at least after signing a new two-yea♏r contract extension which was announced on the eve of the Italian💯 Grand Prix last weekend.
Hamilton’s lat꧂est deal with Mercedes means he will race in F1 int🍃o his 40s.
What Hamilton will do post-F1 is unclear given his involvement in ജother industries such as fashion or his determination to make the sport more in⛎clusive for ethnic minorities.
Wolff believes Hamilton hasꦆ the “right skills and personali🎐ty” to run an F1 team in the future.
“We spoke about our sponsorships and how he will still be involved in the fut🦋ure,” he said to Sky Sports.
“This ⛄is why it took a long time to sign the contract. He will end hi🔥s career with us because I can’t see him in another team.
“I think he can become a Team Pri꧃ncipal or CEO; he has the right skills and personality. Lewis shaped this sport, and he will remain in F1.”
Whether Hamilton could replace Wolff﷽ down the line is unclear.
Recently, ex-Virgin F1 driver Jerome d’꧃Ambrosio joined the team and has often been seen standing next to Wolff in the Mercedes garage.
The Belgian effec💎tively replaces Wolff when he’s absent.
