Toto Wolff has revealed a touching detail that fans weren’t expecting—despite his high-profile move to Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton still regularly visits the Mercedes garage and even flies with members of the “old gang.”
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion and long-time Mercedes icon, made headlines earlier this year when he signed with Ferrari for the 2025 season. Many assumed the move would create a clean break between him and Mercedes. But according to Wolff, that bond is proving far more resilient.
“Lewis still comes around,” Wolff shared, describing how Hamilton remains emotionally close to the team that gave him six of his seven titles. “He sometimes even travels with the old gang. It’s still family.” This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a sign of how deep the relationship between Hamilton and Mercedes truly runs.
While fans in red are eager to see Lewis make his mark at Ferrari, there’s something undeniably human about his loyalty. These behind-the-scenes reunions show that Hamilton’s career isn’t just about podiums and trophies—it’s about people, too.
Mercedes, despite preparing for a new era without its star driver, appears to respect and welcome his continued presence. It’s a rare sight in Formula 1 to see such warmth between ex-teammates and ex-bosses, especially when rivalries usually take center stage.
Whether Hamilton finds glory in Ferrari red or not, his visits to Mercedes are a clear reminder: legacy isn’t always about the car you drive—it’s about the connections you leave behind.
