Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has firmly stated that his team will beat Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari when the seven-time world champion moves to the Italian team in 2025. Despite sharing a close and successful partnership with Hamilton over the years, Wolff is adamant that Mercedes’ focus will shift fully toward defeating their former driver on track.

Speaking to media, Wolff left no room for doubt about his intentions for the upcoming season. “Lewis and I share a great history and friendship, but once he’s racing in red, he’s a competitor — and we are going to beat him,” Wolff said confidently. “Our mission is to get back to the top, and that includes being ahead of Ferrari and Lewis.”

Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedes after more than a decade sent shockwaves through the F1 world. Together with Wolff, Hamilton won six world titles and brought Mercedes unprecedented success. However, as their chapter together nears its end, Wolff is already looking ahead to a fierce rivalry.

“Our focus is on building a car that can win championships again. We respect Lewis, but we have to prioritize our team and our future. We will do everything to ensure Mercedes is back on top — and that means beating every rival, including Lewis,” Wolff added.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the 2025 season, as Hamilton’s switch to Ferrari and Wolff’s determination to beat him set up one of the most anticipated showdowns in modern F1 history.
