Toto Wolff has revealed ‘the most important message he’s ever sent’ to Lewis Hamilton, with one crucial word of advice regarding his arrival at Ferrari.
After Lewis Hamilton’s final race with Mercedes, the team released a goodbye WhatsApp voice message from team boss Toto Wolff.
“Hi Lewis, I’m on the go, so I thought I’d better leave you a voice note, like always,” the Austrian said.
“Yeah, the moment is here we all knew was coming. We’ve raced the last lap. The longest and most successful partnership in Formula 1 history. Who would have thought that when we started the journey?
“It’s been a crazy ride for a boy from Stevenage who had a dream, and who shared this journey with us at Mercedes.
“So now you’re opening up a new chapter with Ferrari. But, most importantly, remember one thing: find your people.

“Not just the ones who work with you or sign your contract, obviously, we know that’s important, but the ones who dream with you, who fight with you, who have your back and your ear; the ones who stand with you and kneel with you; the ones who see you, including the parts you don’t want seen, who never stop believing, even when you do sometimes.
“Because when you find your people you don’t just beat the world, you change it. And whatever the future holds, just remember, we will always be your people, because every dream needs a team. You know it.
“Take care my friend, see you on track. We are really looking forward to it.
“That’s the most important message I’ve ever sent,” Wolff concluded.
