Toto Wolff has shared what truly went down behind the scenes when it came to Lewis Hamilton's shock move from Mercedes to Ferrari. The Austrian remembered it all first began with Carlos Sainz Sr. (the F1 driver's father) messaging him and informing him that there was something cooking after which he saw the wheels turning in motion two weeks prior to Hamilton eventually telling him.
The 2024 F1 season started with massive news of Hamilton deciding to move on from Mercedes and sign with Ferrari. The driver was going to drive for the Italian team in 2025 and had decided not to take the option for that season. What was even more surprising was that the news came out before the 2024 season had started, which meant that the timing was a bit odd as Lewis would spend an entire season with the team knowing that he would be leaving at the end of it.
