Wolff has conf🔯irmed that talks have been held between Hamilton and Mercedes but nothing has been🦂 agreed.
The German did previously hint that Hamilton will remain with ♛Mercedes for “several” years, however, it’s likely an ambassador role for♔ the 103-time grand prix is on the cards.
Speaking to Sky Sports in Downing Street on Tuesday - the home of the British Prime Minister - following a meeting with a number of key F1 personnel, politician Lucy Frazer, and advisors to PM Rishi Sunak, Wolff heaped praise on Ha𝓡milton.
“Lewis Hamilton is clearly the most import🦄ant personality in our sport, he is so multi-dimensional,” he said.
“It is not only the racing driver and W𒈔orld Champion but he is also trailblazing for diversity and sustainability.
“There ar🎀e no limits for Lewis Hamilton as an entrepreneur as a politician. I think he is one of the most spectacular personalities and characters I've ever met.
“We owe him an eighth championship.”
F1 CE♏O Stefano Domenicali stood alongside Wolff during the same interview.
He added: “I would say more short-term we would love to see Lewis still ꦬfig꧋hting on the track, but I agree with Toto that he's an incredible personality.
“He has shown that he has raised the bar of interest in a lot of topics, but𒅌 for the short-term I would say to Toto, make sure that he's running with a good F1 car.”
