Susie Wolff, wife of Mercedes Formula One boss Toto Wolff, has publicly expressed her gratitude to Lewis Hamilton, commending the seven-time world champion for his unwavering support during his time with the team. As Hamilton gears up for his final race with Mercedes, Susie described his influence as “hugely supportive,” emphasizing the legacy he leaves behind.
Hamilton’s departure from Mercedes marks the end of a 12-year era that has been nothing short of historic. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this Sunday will be Hamilton’s swan song with the team before his highly-anticipated move to Ferrari in 2025. This transition has already sparked widespread excitement and speculation, as the British driver joins the ranks of F1’s most legendary team.
The decision to leave Mercedes stunned many, including Toto Wolff, when it was announced earlier this year. Despite the shock, the Mercedes team has rallied behind Hamilton, with both Susie and Toto praising his contributions to the team’s dominance in the sport.
Hamilton joined Mercedes in 2013 and quickly became the cornerstone of their success. Over the course of his partnership with the Silver Arrows, he amassed an incredible six Drivers’ Championships, 84 race victories, and 153 podium finishes in 245 races. His achievements helped establish Mercedes as one of the most successful teams in Formula One history.
Reflecting on his time with Mercedes, Susie Wolff highlighted Hamilton’s professionalism and dedication, noting how he continually pushed the team to excel. “His leadership and spirit have left an indelible mark on Mercedes and the entire paddock,” she said in a heartfelt statement.
The move to Ferrari signals a new chapter for Hamilton as he seeks fresh challenges in the latter stages of his career. Ferrari, the sport’s most iconic team, has not claimed a Drivers’ Championship since 2007, and Hamilton’s arrival is expected to boost their prospects significantly.
Meanwhile, Mercedes faces the daunting task of filling the void left by Hamilton. While the team remains optimistic about their future, Toto Wolff has acknowledged that replacing such a monumental figure will be no easy feat.
As the curtain falls on this remarkable chapter of Hamilton’s career, fans and team members alike will look back on his time at Mercedes as a golden era of triumph, innovation, and teamwork.
