      Mercedes boss Toto Wolff tips Lewis Hamilton to WIN F1 world title in 2024… but only if team ‘gets its act together’

      by

      George Russell’s podium finish in Abu Dhabi was enough to secure second, three points in front of Ferrari, but it represents a fall from grace from Mercedes who had won eight constructors’ titles in a row up to 2021.
      Red Bull finished on 860 points, with Mercedes finishing on 451 so there is a considerable gap for Wolff’s team to make up.
      When asked by Sky Sports as to whether they can bridge that gap next season, Wolff said: “New season starts with a completely new car and that gives opportunities but also risks.
      “I think we’ve got to be realistic.
      READ MORE ON F1
      “We are aiming for the stars but we finished only second against a team that was out-performing everybody else.”
      When asked if another constructor, such as Ferrari could usurp them to become Red Bull’s main competitor, Wolff said: “I mean I’ve always said that this is a meritocracy and best driver and best car wins, and therefore we have to just get out act together, and I hope it’s us [that can fight Red Bull].”
      Wolff says it is up to the team to give Hamilton a car worthy of beating Verstappen next year, saying: “If we are able to give him the car, then he will be fighting for a world championship.
      “I have no doubt. It’s clear that when you have a Formula 1 car like we have now, you are never at ease with it.”

      F1 legend Johnny Herbert picks sides in Lewis Hamilton and Christian Horner row and says ‘I don’t really listen to him’

      by

      That was later alleged to be the Mercedes star’s father and came amid mounting pressure on Red Bull’s Sergio Perez. 
      The Mexican driver enjoyed two wins in the opening four rounds but did not enjoy another victory all term as his form plummeted after the summer break.
      That led to speculation over his future as the second seat driver behind Max Verstappen.
      Horner’s claims soon hit the headlines, but Hamilton slammed those comments in Abu Dhabi and denied all knowledge.

      Now F1 legend Herbert has waded into the talk of Hamilton becoming a team-mate of his bitter rival Verstappen and said he would be very surprised if Horner’s claims were true.
      Speaking to Genting Casino, Herbert said: “I don’t think anybody was really aware of that, I think a lot of people were saying ‘Well that would be the possible right pairing to have’ because obviously in a situation like Lewis was in at Mercedes.
      “I think Lewis is very aware, and you mentioned it earlier, Lewis is after the eighth. Now he knows how good Max is, he knows it’s Max’s team, he knows that when he’s been winning the championships that he’s got, generally, he’s been the man of that team.
      “And you go, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost, Nicky Lauder, Nigel Mansell, the list goes on, they were the leaders of those teams. And the way you win world championships is to be the leader of the team.”

      Herbert continued: “Going into Red Bull, that I don’t think would ever be the case, and I think he’s very aware of that. I’d be very surprised if there was any contact from Lewis’ side and him not knowing that they were doing it if that was the case
      “He would’ve been very aware. But it is, however people want to take this, very Christian. There’s a lot of things, I don’t really listen to Christian sometimes, and I think that probably was one of them.”
      Seven-time champ Hamilton ended the season in a frustrating fashion but still finished in P3 in the Drivers’ Championship.
      He remains contracted for another two seasons with the Silver Arrows.
