Toto Wolff has admitted that Lewis Hamilton "needs to look" at joining other teams in the future if Mercedes are unable to provide him with a winning car.
"If you suggest to Toto that he inherited a winning team and all he did was take the glory, I'd be inclined to be ready to run quickly! You see the resources, skills and knowledge so maybe it just needs a bit of fine-tuning but it can be a bit of an avalanche when things start to go wrong [in terms of] keeping morale high." "They [Mercedes] were disheartened after Bahrain and they have a long hard slog. Lewis is highly intelligent and thinks carefully about what he says." "Toto has been talking for a while about maybe backing off from doing all the races and putting other people in place. "I tread very carefully when it comes to criticising teams and management. Keeping the right people involved, bringing in fresh talent and energy and not upsetting the others. "Despite all the glory, tuning this around will be the biggest test of Toto's tenure. "There are no performance clauses," Hamilton said. "What can we do?

Lewis Hamilton is still without a Mercedes contract for the 2024 Formula 1 season, and a surprise suitor has emerged. But how feasible would it be?
Every few years or so, Hamilton is linked to Ferrari, and that is the case again, even though both of their drivers are under contract through 2024. The thought of Hamilton-Alonso pairing, given how that went 16 years ago, will lead many to not even consider it. Who saw Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots after 19 years? No teammate had beaten Hamilton without winning the title since Jenson Button at McLaren in 2011. Rumors about his future have clearly frustrated the 38-year-old Briton, to the point where he has called out certain individuals for merely speculating. Mercedes, which averaged almost 14 wins per year from 2014 to 2021, won only a single race, courtesy of George Russell.
Mercedes Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton has parted company with his performance coach Angela Cullen.
Cullen added: "Exactly seven years ago on this day, I was standing in the F1 paddock for the first time at the Australian GP. Still we rise." "So today, I hope you'll join me in wishing her the very best as she takes her next steps to pursue her dreams. I'm so proud of you and everything you have achieved. "Don't stop believing. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you."
Toto Wolff says Mercedes will support Lewis Hamilton after his split from his long-time performance coach Angela Cullen.
“Angela will always be a mascot of the team. That Sunday she was one of the first to console the driver. “If things don’t work out anymore, then we need to be honest about it and then bring change. “Angela was part of the gang for a long time,” said the team boss. Wolff told the media at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit that “if things don’t work out anymore, then we need to be honest about it.” Hamilton in his statement said he was a “stronger athlete and a better person because of her” while Cullen said it was an “honour and pleasure to stand alongside” the seven-time World Champion.
