Toto Wolf has advised thatLewis Hamilton and George Russell's relationship as teammates may change. I am fully aware. The British pair, tied together this season after Russell's move from Williams in the off-season, had very much the same perception during his difficult 2022.
In fact, Wolff believes that the "biggest enemy" of both sides isMercedes' underperforming car. He has no illusions when the two of them will be competing on the front row of the grid for race wins and world titles.
"I think George and Lewis' biggest enemy was the car, not their teammates or other drivers," Wolff said Motorsport.com.
``They used a variety of tools with the aim of exchanging impressions and useful information to help us get out of the situations we were going through. I used many different solutions and settings in some cases.”
“When the goal becomes racing and championships, the respect that I see today between the two becomes dominant.”
"I think it's normal to have some tension when playing high stakes, but I think people basically respect each other." And if you respect it, you can never be too nervous.”
The 2022 Formula 1 season returns from the summer break with next week's Belgian Grand Prix.
