Toto Wolff says, Lewis Hamilton will win another title with Mercedes
Present at Mercedes since 2013, Lewis Hamilton has won six championships with the German team. His boss, Toto Wolff, believes that the Briton can add one more.
He is one of the former Formula 1 drivers. Since 2007, Lewis Hamilton has made a lasting impression in the sport. With 103 poles, 103 wins, and 7 titles, the British driver has one of the most impressive track records in history. Last year, he could have added to his achievements, but Max Verstappen had other plans.
This year, behind the wheel of a temperamental and poorly designed W13, Lewis Hamilton had no chance of being among the favorites. However, the German team is making enormous progress and getting closer to the top of the leaderboard race after race. These results make Toto Wolff, the director of Mercedes, confident for the future.
« I am absolutely certain that Lewis can win the eighth world title with us. He won’t go anywhere else, and if we can provide him with a competitive car and he can fight for victories, he will win more titles, assures Toto Wolff to the Associated Press agency.
Still five years?
While the British driver’s contract is set to expire at the end of 2023, the seven-time world champion could, like Fernando Alonso, stay even longer.
« For him, retirement is still far away. Perhaps one day he will wonder, “Am I still satisfied with my performance?” And when he comes to the conclusion that he is not, he will be the first to acknowledge it.

« I have no doubt that we will extend [beyond 2023]. Today’s science can ensure that athletes, if they are disciplined, can perform for much longer than in the past.

Look at Fernando Alonso. He is 41 years old and still at the top of his game, so there is no doubt that there are many years ahead for Lewis.
Toto Wolff revealed that Lewis Hamilton would like to stay in the top category of motorsport for another five years. The advantage is that we speak a lot together. Just last week, we sat down and he said, “Look, I have five more years ahead of me, what do you think?”
