While speaking to the Italian edition of motorsport.com, the Mercedes team principal revealed that there had been no such discussions. He said:
Wolff also pointed out one key characteristic of Hamilton that he found remarkable. He spoke about how Lewis Hamilton, despite having an uncompetitive car this season, was still one of the most positive characters in the team and was always providing positive reinforcement within the team. He said:
Toto Wolff believes Lewis Hamilton could win 10 titles if given the right car
Toto Wolff admits he understands how disappointing it would have been for Lewis Hamilton to miss out on making history. If he had won the title last season, he would have held the record of winning eight world championships. Wolff, however, was more optimistic in this regard as he backed Lewis Hamilton to win not just eight but ten titles in his career if he has the right car under him. The Mercedes team principal said:
It will be interesting to see what kind of comeback Hamilton and Mercedes can mount in the future, since Red Bull and Max Verstappen hold an advantage over the rest of the grid for the time being.
