Wolff: I have no fear in making somebody miss races
6 April, 2021
Toto Wolff said that he made it clear to his previous driver pair, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, that he had no fear making one of them miss races should their actions on track impact the team.
Speaking to Jake Humphrey on The High Performance Podcast, Wolff reflected on the time when Hamilton shared the Mercedes garage with 2016 champion Rosberg. The Austrian clearly wasn’t satisfied with the detrimental effect their volatile relationship had on the team’s environment and told them as much.
“I’m not sure it gets the best out of both, because that is negativity, and you still have to be a team player,” Wolff said.
