Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says he will “always have a personal relationship with Lewis” and “will always wish him happy days”.
Lewis Hamilton surprised everybody when it was announced that he signed with Ferrari for 2025.
This was especially surprising, because the Briton said on numerous occasions that he hopes to remain a Mercedes driver for life.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff now says Lewis’ decision to leave the team was definitely a last minute thing.
“He said he was going to stay and then he decided to go,” the Austrian told PA news agency.
“But people change their minds and circumstances change and you have to respect that. Today’s opinion might be different tomorrow and I have no hard feelings.”

Toto added that despite the fact that Lewis will be Mercedes’ rival next year, their personal relationship will remain as strong as ever.
“If Ferrari is able to give Lewis a competitive car, he can win a world championship, there is no doubt about that.
“I will always have a personal relationship with Lewis and I will look back at the great times, professionally and personally.
“When Lewis moves to Ferrari he becomes a competitor but I will always wish him happy days,” Wolff concluded.
