Team principal Wolff praises Briton after second place in MexicoHamilton targets second place over final three F1 grands prix
Lewis Hamilton has been given a resounding vote of confidence by Toto Wolff after the Mercedes team principal praised his “perfect drive” at the Mexico City Grand Prix. Wolff has also insisted he never had any doubts about Hamilton’s performances and commitment despite the team struggling with their car this year.
Hamilton was second in Mexico, where Max Verstappen won to take a record 16th victory this season. Hamilton finished 14 seconds behind the Dutchman but he and Mercedes did deliver a very strong race. The team executed their plan with confidence and precision, calling the strategy perfectly, while Hamilton had to make several passes on track to move from sixth on the grid to second, including a breathtaking high-speed dive up the inside of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
