Toto Wolff says “drivers have less input in terms of development than any engineer”, so he’s not worried about Lewis Hamilton taking Mercedes’ ‘secrets’ to Ferrari.

At the end of 2024, Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes to join Ferrari. When asked about possible problems that this could cause within the team, Toto Wolff said issues are of course possible, but he doesn’t expect them to emerge.

“You shouldn’t fool yourself,” Wolff told ORF.

“Of course there can be a certain dynamic when a driver changes teams, especially if things are not going so smoothly, but both drivers still get equal opportunities.

“We need two drivers who perform excellently.”

As for the possibility of Lewis taking technical information to Ferrari, the Austrian said:

“Additionally, I believe that drivers have less input in terms of development than any engineer.

“And there are always personnel changes of people moving from us to Ferrari or Red Bull. That’s what you have to pay attention to.

“Apart from a few minor details, Lewis won’t take much development to Ferrari,” Wolff concluded.
