Wolff: Conspiracy theories about Hamilton are just nonsense!”

Turbo statements in the Formula 1 circus! At the Qatar Grand Prix, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff raised the persistent, simmering suspicion that Lewis Hamilton was being disadvantaged by his own team. Rumors that have been permeating social media for months – and which Wolff dismisses as “crazy conspiracy theories”. “People who spread such things are simply idiots,” was the Austrian’s clear stance.

The speculation was apparently triggered by Hamilton's announced move to Ferrari, which some fans interpret as a possible reason for his supposed slumping behind teammate George Russell. "I've never read any comments. I just hear that this nonsense appears," Wolff explained while criticizing the toxic atmosphere on social networks. He seems amused by the accusations made and puts it clearly: "It doesn't even bother me, they're just idiots." In reality, these people are probably inexperienced - "probably never set foot in a racing car, maybe not even in a normal car," he added.

Wolff defends himself against toxic theories

Toto Wolff doesn't mince his words when it comes to defending himself against untenable prejudices. “We love our fans,” he emphasized, but it must also be made clear that some voices on social media should not be taken seriously. These statements are in no way intended to compromise the passion that fans have for racing. Wolff admits that the comments only make people laugh and immediately adds a challenge to the critics: “My message to those who think they have to give us the comments: Nobody reads what you write.” This combative attitude is from krone.at and motorsport.com impressively accompanied.
