Because of the Hamilton rumor
Wolff speaks plainly: “They are simply idiots”
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff is a man of clear words. He has now proven this once again when he was asked about an alleged internal discrimination against Lewis Hamilton on the sidelines of the Qatar Grand Prix. People who spread these rumors "are simply idiots," said the Austrian.
For months, Formula 1 fans have been speculating on social networks that Hamilton is being deliberately disadvantaged at Mercedes because he is leaving the team for Ferrari at the end of the year. This is why the multiple world champion is also driving behind his team-mate George Russell this year.
"Crazy conspiracy theories"
"I've never read any comments. I only hear this nonsense," said Wolff at the weekend in Qatar. There are a few people on social media, which he sees as "a toxic environment", who spread "crazy, made-up conspiracy theories".
"It doesn't even bother me, they're just idiots," Wolff said bluntly. These people have "no idea" and "have probably never set foot in a racing car, maybe not even in a normal car".
