Mercedes Chief Wolff Shares Guardiola's Advice Regarding Hamilton's Departure

Mercedes Formula 1 team principal Toto Wolff shared how the advice from Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola helped him navigate the situation regarding Lewis Hamilton's departure.

Toto Wolff for RacingNews365
I had a chat with Pep Guardiola a long time ago, he’s a friend, and I said ‘What do you do if this and that player leaves?’ He said ‘What do you mean, what do I do?’ And I said ‘Well, do you try to convince them to stay?’ And he said ‘No. If somebody thinks they can play elsewhere better, then you just have to let them go’. It is something that I embrace the same way here. If somebody wants to go, then let's make it as good as possible for each of the parties.

It’s important to note that Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes to join Ferrari at the end of the current Formula 1 season.

Hamilton has spent 11 years with the German team, winning seven World Championships.
