Wolff compliments Hamilton drive in Spain: 'I think he's just faultless'

Amid the flurry of title contention between Mercedes and Red Bull Racing, the Silver Arrows under Toto Wolff secured an important victory at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit. Looking back the team boss argues that the lead over Red Bull was partly due to Lewis Hamilton's ability to learn.

Speaking to RACER the Austrian gave his view on the lead Hamilton and Mercedes have now achieved in the 2021 championship. "I think he's just faultless," Wolff says of his star driver, in an analysis that not every Formula One viewer will agree with.

But Wolff is also quick to qualify: "That is no guarantee he will be all season because we all make mistakes and the car can break down"

Unprecedented learning ability

Above all, the team boss and businessman believes Hamilton must rely on his ability to learn, something he also manages to turn into a threat to Red Bull Racing: "But his ability of learning, still, after so many seasons, is very impressive. And if you have the possibility of following the other team and the other drivers so closely, then you learn even more," said Wolff.
