Toto Wolff fired the bomb. It is about the future of Lewis Hamilton

It was a hot day for all Formula 1 fans. After a phenomenal race in which Max Verstappen was only last minute overtaking and winning the championship, there was overtime. But in offices. “The directors probably fought a battle no less intense than in the case of the track.”

Mercedes had 96 hours from the announcement of the judges’ verdict on appeal. However, it was revealed that both protests were rejected by the FIA. The results were sustained, and Red Bull and Max Verstappen were already starting to enjoy winning the championship. Mercedes has therefore announced that it is withdrawing from the appeal. The question is: what’s the future for Lewis Hamilton? – I cannot guarantee that she will continue her career. We are disappointed. And it is tight. We still love the sport. The results never lie. But if suddenly the results no longer matter, then we are exposed to random decisions. It will take us a long time to reconcile and digest what happened in the last race – said the director of Mercedes in “The Race”.

And he added: I talk to Lewis every day, but now there is even nothing to talk about. Each of us deals with our feelings in our own way. Each of us has to digest what has happened. I must do everything in my power to somehow overcome this pain of failure. So that he would believe that everything will be fair in a year.

Verstappen won the Formula 1 world championship for the first time in his career, and Hamilton has seven titles to his credit. His contract only expires in 2023.

We have already dealt with the sudden end of career by an F1 driver once. In 2016, Hamilton’s teammate Nico Rosberg announced five days after winning his first league title that he was retiring from Formula One. His decision was surprising but irrevocable. The British then called his teammate’s championship title “by accident”, and Rosberg himself a coward, because he did not give him a chance to take the Formula 1 world title from him.
