Lewis also made fun of his team boss. “Toto ran out of talent!” Hamilton shows the crooked car while Wolff makes his way through the snow. Hamilton figured that he might have distracted Toto by being on the radio.
Lewis Hamilton & Toto Wolff’s strong bond
The two friends are part of the F1 legacy. As a result, the two are incredibly close. In 2021, Hamilton revealed when exactly he knew that he had found a confidante in his boss.
“Between 2015 and 2016 there was a time when our bond really grew and then in 2017 it solidified. We have started to create a common basis and to discuss more deeply without being afraid of showing the weaknesses of the other and also the strengths of our character. “

Wolff also mentioned this crucial turning point. Wolff shared his story in a little more detail, contextualizing his story with Hamilton’s infamous silver war with Rosberg. “We ended up at my house after the team’s Christmas party and discussed everything, the uncomfortable truths, and it ended in a couple of hours of conversation. Since then, our relationship has grown very strong and we talk to each other many times each week and can easily discuss things, even if they are difficult to discuss. “
Wolff also stated that their conversations are not limited to racing. “We’re talking about his fashion company and my investments and my family, and that’s important. The better you know the person you are on the same journey with, the stronger the relationship becomes. “
