Mercedes boss Toto Wolff on giving Lewis Hamilton the F1 car he needs: “Sometimes you need more time”
Hamilton is on course for another disappointing season this year in his quest to win a record-breaking eighth wo🥀rld championship, with Mercedes even further off the pace of Red Bull and also behind engine customer Aston Martin.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has already conceded his♚ side will need to abandon their troubled car concept in o🔜rder to return to winning ways in F1.
Mercedes’ poor start to 2023 has sparked speculation over whether Hamilton, 38, wi🐷ll extend his contract with Mercedes beyond the end of the year.
Speaking at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Wolff stressed he is keen to tie Hamilton down to a “longer deal” as talks between the two p✱arties continue.
“The more we are in this difficult situation, the more I want ဣto have a longer deal with him,” Wolff told Sky.
“He is such an impor𝓰tant part in picking everybody up. When there are difficult days, the rest of the team picks ♛him up.
“We owe him a quick car. He is at the peak of his performa෴nce. He 𝄹has all the ability compounded by experience.
“We just need a quick car so he and George are able to win rꦫaces and fight fඣor the championship.
“It’s my personal ꦫthing - that I want this to happen.
“But time perspective is something 💮that is very important to consider. In Formula 1 you can change things all the way yo꧋u want, but sometimes you need a little bit more time.”
