Toto Wolff claims the final three underwhelming seasons of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s tenure at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes will not undermine his previous glory.

Hamilton has racked up six of his seven F1 drivers’ championship🔯s in an iconic stint at Mercedes, which will conclude🐬 at the end of this season.

In 2025 Hamilton hopes to reinvigorate his F1 ti𝔉tle hopes by moving to Ferrari.

But Merced🍷es boss Wolff denied that three years of below-par machinery may “overshadow” their legendary driver’s time at the team.

“It's the most competitive motorsport in the world and we were lucky and blessed with win💧ning eight consecutive World Championship titles,” he said.

“That wasn't done before in any other sport. And🐎 Lewis 𓄧won seven drivers' championships.

“You cannot extrapolate from that that you're going to win forever or that you're in the hunt for every single cꦆhampionship. That 🃏doesn't happen.

“And the regs were changed twice and we maintained the level of🌼 performance and won championships.

“And then we've just been caught out by these new regulations in 2022. Until today, we're just not able to put steady performance ♌on the car and provide the drivers with something that is predictable, that has enough downforce, that doesn't bounce or hop, that rides where the ride is acceptable, where the tyre degradation can be managed in the right way and not be too cold or too hot.

“And that is how sport goes. That's very easy.

“A b🉐asketballer was asked whether he felt that his season was a failure. And he said Michael Jordan played 12 seasons in the NBA and he won six. Does that mean that the whole thing was a failure? Were the other six a failure?

“We've been together 12 yea🤪rs now in this championship, and we have won eight. Are the other ones a failure?

“We finished third two years ago, we finished second last year, bearing in mind we haven't🥂 won a race, and we won three this year.

“So that is not all a failure. That wa🐼s a pretty good spell for Mercedes and for Lewis.

“And we will be trying to 🐻do it better. We are trying to do it better eve♉ry single day, every single weekend. And the same will be next season and then the big one in ‘26.”

'We wish Lewis the best - and a car that's not fast'

H🐬amilton returned to winning ways this year, with victory at the F1 British Grand Prix his first since 2021.

Red Bull took over from Abu Dhabi 2021, but Mercedes have al𝐆so lagged behind McLaren and Ferrari this year.

Hamilton has only thre꧂e grands prix remaining i🌠n a Mercedes before he will be decked out in red.

Wolff insisted there haven’t yet been emoti✨onal goodbyes: “I think we're still running the season. So the weekends feel like they felt before.

“You know, these meetings where long-term development is being disc✅ussed, they don't happen so regularly and we didn't have them for the last few months. So it's pretty much standard as it is.

“There is no overwhelming emotion now that this is ending, but I'm sure the closer it's going to come to Abu Dhabi and the last sessions, the last race together will be quite a thing because we had this wonderᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𝐆⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚful partnership for such a long time.

“But having said that, Lewis is not going to disappear. Lewis is going to be o🍎n the grid next year with a Ferrari.

🉐We are not losing the person, we are just losing the 🔯driver.

“But we embark on a new future. We have an 18-year-old andᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ a 27-year-old that are going to be our drivers. And that is super exciting.

“And at the same 🀅time, personally, we wish Lewis all the best and happiness. And maybe a car that's not so fast.

“But nevertheless, it is a de🧜cision he t🦹ook. And we're OK with that.”

Mercedes w⛎ill pair George Russell with rookie Kimi Antonelli next🃏 year.
