According to the Mercedes boss, happiness is the main reason that explains Lewis Hamilton's "best" season. In the 2018 season, Lewis Hamilton became a five-time world champion. Many people think that Hamilton has never performed as well as in 2018.
Wolf, answering a question from reporters about the reasons for Hamilton's progress in 2018, said: “I think this is because he is constantly evolving and does not stand still.
He adds in every area. He progresses both on and off the track. His partnership with Tommy Hilfiger has been very successful. One of the best fashion collections from the brand has come out.
Wolff and Hamilton were not always friends, this was especially evident during the period when Lewis's partner in Mercedes was Nico Rosberg, who was a serious competitor to his partner. Rosberg shocked F1 with a sudden exit after the title in 2016. An honest conversation at Wolff's house in Oxford two years ago changed things.
According to Wolff, his relationship with Hamilton has never been stronger than it is now. Toto added: “Lewis and I needed time. Now, looking back, I can say that the end of the 2016 season was the best way to strengthen our relationship."
