Toto Wolff, the boss of Mercedes, has issued a fierce warning ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 season, vowing to defeat Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari on the track despite their close friendship. Wolff made it clear that when it comes to racing, nothing, not even their long-standing bond, will stop him from ensuring Mercedes comes out on top.

“I want to beat Lewis, no matter where he is,” Wolff declared, highlighting that while their personal connection remains strong, business and competition in Formula 1 are always paramount. “Ferrari might have Hamilton on their side, but that won’t change the fact that Mercedes is going to be the one standing at the top of the podium. I’m not here to make friends when it comes to racing — I’m here to win.”

Hamilton, who has been with Mercedes since 2013 and is now set to switch to Ferrari for 2025, has long been one of the sport’s most formidable drivers. However, Wolff’s declaration makes it clear that the challenge is personal for Mercedes. The rivalry between the two teams is now more intense than ever, and Wolff’s message signals his intent to crush any hopes of Hamilton thriving with his new team.

With the stage set for a bitter battle in 2025, Wolff’s words will undoubtedly fuel the fire, making this season one of the most anticipated and intense in F1 history. Mercedes will stop at nothing to prove that their dominance over Hamilton is far from over.
