Mercedes<\/a>, Hamilton\u2019s relationship with Wolff has remained intact.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen he decided to go, it could have been very awkward, borderline hostile, and we actively talked about how to not make it that,\u201d Wolff told The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of us made a real effort in trying to be very accommodating, very understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s maintained being a friend. He pops up in the office on the weekend! He speaks with the engineers, gets some food. After many Grand Prix, he travels back with me.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we have the old gang: Valtteri Bottas, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, and me flying from the races.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wolff on Hamilton relationship: \u201cWe trust each other\u201d<\/p>\n
Even though Ferrari and Mercedes remain on-track rivals, Wolff has insisted the pair still \u201ctrust each other\u201d despite wanting to finish ahead on a Sunday.<\/p>\n
There are just 12 points between Ferrari and Mercedes in the race for P2 in the constructors\u2019 standings.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen, on the racetrack, we want to beat you. No doubt about that. But it\u2019s been 12 years that we have been in this relationship. We trust each other,\u201d Wolff added.<\/p>\n
Wolff also revealed Hamilton is open with who he dates.<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old\u2019s relationship history has been kept under wraps.<\/p>\n
During his early F1 career, Hamilton dated pop star Nicole Scherzinger up until 2014.<\/p>\n
Since then, there have been rumours that Hamilton was seeing Colombian singer Shakira, with them pictured together after the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m living a different life through his eyes – you know, he shows me his flirts and who he dates, and [asks], \u2018Should I go for this girl or not?\u2019 And I\u2019m saying, \u2018Yes, you should, and tell me how it was\u201d,\u201d Wolff concluded.<\/p>\n
