Lewis Hamilton has its first use for Ferrari in Formula 1. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff still has to get used to the fact that the record champion is no longer in the silver arrow.
After the start of the season of Formula 1 in Australia, Toto Wolff revealed that he had not only had an eye on his two pilots George Russell and Kimi Antonelli during the race.
“When I sometimes looked at the screens, it looked as if we had three drivers because I looked at Rus, I looked at Ant and I looked at Ham … and then suddenly you realize that Ham is actually at Ferrari and no longer with us,” the Mercedes team boss is quoted by “ESPN”.
It “still feels like this … it was a long time, it is logical, you can’t just say it is gone and you don’t take care of it anymore,” said Wolff. “It is very important to us how he is, but of course he is the competition on the track and we have to beat the competition,” continued the Austrian.
Disappointing Ferrari debut in Formula 1
Hamilton experienced a used Ferrari debut in Formula 1 in Melbourne. The 40-year-old landed in the race in the race after eighth place in qualifying. The Briton only collected one point for the World Cup.
Russell and Antonelli crossed the finish line in Albert Park in ranks three and four and thus ensured a successful Mercedes start to the new F1 year.
