After Lewis Hamilton’s fantastic win at the British Grand Prix, Toto Wolff was asked if he has any regrets regarding Lewis’ exit from Mercedes next year.
As glorious as Lewis Hamilton’s first win since 2021 was, it does feel a bit bittersweet, knowing that next year he will be leaving Mercedes, a team he has been with for 12 years.
Not surprisingly, after the race team boss Toto Wolff was asked if he has any regrets regarding Lewis’ departure.
“In my life I’ve no regrets, because you cannot have regrets,” the Austrian said.
“We are adults, we take decisions, we go for it. That’s the most important.
“We’ve gotta finish this season on a high and provide a car that enables them to win and the team to score points in the constructors’ championship. And it is what it is.”
Toto added Lewis’ victory feels like “a little fairytale”, after all the struggles the team has been through.

“It was so difficult over the last two years that we couldn’t really find performance, we couldn’t give the drivers a car that was able to go for the victories.
“And to make him win again, the British Grand Prix, in his last race for Mercedes here, it’s almost like a little fairytale.”
The Austrian also said this win will take a lot of ‘weight’ off Lewis’ shoulders.
“It’s clear our relationship goes back a long time. Each of us has suffered at various stages. He’s been there for me and most recently I’ve tried to do my contribution to his doubting, at times.
“That’s why it feels really good that he’s been able to put all the negative thoughts, all the negativity aside, and come up with this performance.
“I think it’s a weight off his shoulders,” Wolff concluded.
