Wolff: Conspiracy theories about Hamilton are just nonsense!

Katar, Katar - Turbo statements in the Formula 1 circus! At the Qatar Grand Prix, the Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff threw the sustainably bubbling suspicion of the head that Lewis Hamilton was disadvantaged by his own team. Rumors that have been going through social media for months - and are dismissed by Wolff as "crazy conspiracy theories". "People who spread things are simply idiots," said the Austrian's clear point of view.

The speculation was apparently apparently announced by Hamilton's switch to Ferrari, which interpreted some fans as a possible reason for his supposed sacking behind teammates George Russell. "I have never read comments. I just hear that this nonsense appears," said Wolff, while criticizing the toxic atmosphere on social networks. He seems to show himself amused by the allegations made and gets it in a nutshell: "It doesn't even bother me, it's just idiots." In reality, these people are probably inexperienced - "probably never put a foot in a racing car, maybe not even in a normal car," he added.

Wolff defends itself against toxic theories

Toto Wolff does not take a leaf out of his mouth when it comes to defending yourself against the unsustainable prejudices. "We love our fans," he emphasized, but one also had to make it clear that some voices on social media should not be taken seriously. These statements should in no way compromise the passion that fans feel for racing. Wolff admits that the comments only provide for laughter and directly adds a request to the critics: "My message to those who think they have to give us the comments: Nobody reads what you write."
