Hamilton wrapped up his fifth world title and his fourth with the Mercedes team at the Mexican Grand Prix, having pulled off what has arguably been his strongest season to d⛦ate in F1.
When asked if he felt Hamil🌃t🅠on was now at his best, Wolff replied: “Yes, this is the best Lewis Hamilton I've seen in the last six years.
"He’s has driven better, he’s been better 🐎out of the car. Very, very complete. But as we try to reach for more it’s never co🔯mpletely complete.
"We had times when the car was good enough to win and times when the car was not good enough to win♓, and he was very stable.
"H𝔍is racecraft is great൲ and that is always one of his strengths - this year that was definitely one of the key factors.
“We all do mistakes. Small ones. [But] he dౠidn't.”
The Briton’s latest title triumph ꦇmoved him level with former Mercedes driver Juan Manu🎃el Fangio in second place on the list of most championship wins, behind only Michael Schumacher.
Wolff reckons Hamilton is far from done yet and has displayed the qualities required to go on an🐭d beat Schumacher’s records.
"You know whilst you are in a career, you n🧜ever get to acknowledge greatness," he said. "You get to acknowledge when a career is over.
"We need to somehow realise that the𝓀re is a five-time world champion who has juಞst equalled Fangio's record. There is not many among them out there.
“I have never met Mrꦐ. Fangio. Just read [about him]. I think that his ability of combining talent with hardwork, intellect and emotional intelligence.
“All great chamꦿpions have all four of them. If one is missing, you can still be a successful racing driver but you’re never going to achieve this greatness.
"As long as he’s in a good ▨car and continues enjoying what he does today, there is more to come,” Wolff added.
"But the reason he’s won the🏅 fifth𒉰 championship, is that he concentrates on the job in hand, and not look too far away.
"Before reachi♎ng seven, there is a ♔sixth to win and we haven't scored a single point for that one.
"As long as we provide a car that is competitive and can win champi꧑onship and he continues to drive like h⛦e does, this can be a relationship forever."
