Wolff accused of LYING in x-rated Hamilton rant

Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff has been accused of telling lies and talking 'b*******' in his farewell message to Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton made his final appearance for the Silver Arrows in Abu Dhabi earlier this month, producing a stunning drive to end the day in fourth having started from 16th on the grid.

It was a fitting reminder of the 39-year-old's supreme talent as he prepares to embark on a new challenge at Ferrari.

Hamilton won six of his seven world titles at Mercedes over a 12-year period but was helpless as they fell down the pecking order in recent seasons, prompting him to agree a shock move to the Maranello-based rivals.

Guenther Steiner's Lewis Hamilton rant

There was an outpouring of emotion following Hamilton's appearance at Yas Marina, with a number of heartfelt tributes being paid by both the driver and his team.

Speaking post-race, Wolff told Hamilton that if Mercedes aren't in the mix for a world championship in 2025, then he hopes the Brit will achieve it with Ferrari.

However, former Haas boss Guenther Steiner has hit out at those comments in a recent appearance on the Red Flags Podcast, as he questioned the Austrian's sincerity.

"Oh he doesn't wish him that," he said.

"This was bulls*** for the camera.

"There can be only one winner. I mean, why should he be happy, you know?

"If he [Wolff] doesn’t win it, he doesn’t really care who wins it, in my opinion."

Hamilton will line up alongside Charles Leclerc next season, forming what looks like a formidable driver pairing heading into 2025.

The seven-time champion looks set to make his debut in red in January when testing an old Ferrari F1 car.
