Both Wolff and Hamilton are out of contract at the end of the 2020 season, with their respective🐠 futures subject to much speculation in recent weeks and months.
Wolff has been linked with the CEO positi༒on at F1, while talk of a possible switch to Ferrari for Hamilton ramped up over the season-e🌳nding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.
“My role is a little bit different and what I found out is that I enjoy the relationships within the team and the relationship to the decision🎃-makers in Daimler,” Wolff said at the FIA prize giving 𝓡ceremony in Paris.
“That is a fundamental part of my wellbeing. They have really trusted us and given us all the room we need to make this team successful and I’m 🌳not taking it lightly to come up with the right decision for ﷺall of us.
“This is a process that is going to take a little bit of time ওbut I don’t see any s🐼urprises actually, as it stands.”
Wolff revealed he and Hamilton have kept each other in the loop regarding their current situation and insisted he is not fazed by the continued speculation surrounding both, adding that paddock rumours are simply “part of 💃F1”.
“The two of us [Hamilton] have been together for quite a༒ while, we trust each other,” he explained. “We have gone through difficult times together and we have come out stronger with a better bond.
“Besides 💝us there are many others which form part of that inner circle within 🐼the team. Of course we talk all the time about where we see the team going and Lewis’ career going.
“In terms of ♐the silly season it’s normal. You♔ guys [the media] drop us little grenades and sometimes we pick them up and they explode in our hands. It’s part of the narrative and it’s good that over the winter these talks happen.
“But at the same time the two of us talk all the time about it. They have never been surprises when things came out in the press, there were weeks or months th🐟at we knew about each other and what our thinking was.”
Lewis regularly attends Grands Prix for mahbx.com around the world. Often reporting on the action from th🐲e ground, Lewis tells the stories of the people who matter in the sport.
