Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says “it is very special” to have been a part of “a journey no other driver in F1 history has done so far”.
Lewis Hamilton made history at the Russian Grand Prix, when he became the first driver to win 100 Formula 1 races. Toto Wolff gave his comments on the “mindblowing” record.
“He wins the 100th race and it is in the news today and tomorrow and then the world is moving on,” the Austrian said.
“But the truth is that when we look back in many years, it is very special to have been part of that journey, and a witness to this journey because he is the all-time record holder.

“It’s a journey no other driver in F1 history has done so far. That’s beyond race wins and championship victories, that is the very human part of all this.
“I think his record speaks for itself. He is just the best there has ever been,” Wolff continued.
“We are witnesses of a career that is just amazing. The 100th race victory is just mind-blowing. If you were to be in awe then that would be the wrong working relationship.
“But we realise that we have been part of a journey that no other sportsman in Formula 1 has done so far,” concluded Mercedes’ team boss.
