Wolff thinks Hamilton will find a way

However, The 39-year-old has still had some critics in a season that currently sees him sitting sixth in the drivers' standings.

A poor season has been boosted by two stunning victories at the British and Belgian grands prix, and Hamilton has been pretty down about his own qualifying performances.

Former F1 world champion Alan Jones even suggested that his days of competing at the top are over.

But Wolff is anything but bitter, suggesting that the future Hamilton-Ferrari relationship will prosper despite the views of others.

In an interview with Motorsport.com, the Austrian claimed: "I think many people say that it's going to be really difficult.

"But I think if you say it's going to be really difficult, then often it's the opposite.

"Ferrari is a great team, great people, lots of emotion and passion and therefore it's pressure. But I believe they are going to find a way of working with each other."
