Toto Wolff denies that Lewis Hamilton is effectively ‘begging’ for a new Mercedes deal. “I don’t see it that way at all,” team boss Wolff insists. I don’t see any indication that we need to change anything.”. What does need to change at Mercedes, however, is the performance of the car – with Wolff admitting that the Brackley based team missed a figure like Adrian Newey when designing last year’s single seater for the new ground effect rules. “But that was also the case last year, and then the car didn’t go well. However, he played down suggestions that Mercedes obviously needed to change the 2022 ‘concept’ ahead of the new season. “We had a discussion with a stakeholder,” Wolff told Auto Motor und Sport.
