Toto Wolff has rolled into the Singapore Grand Prix paddock in style, taking inspiration from former driver Lewis Hamilton<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nF1 is at the Marina Bay Street Circuit this weekend<\/a>, with Wolff hoping that his Mercedes team can build on a strong showing last time out in Azerbaijan, where George Russell grabbed second place, and Kimi Antonelli finished just outside the podium spots in fourth. <\/p>\n

\nWith Thursday being media day at the track, all the F1 personnel were arriving in Singapore, with Wolff entering the paddock on two wheels, looking very 21st century. <\/p>\n

\nJust as former driver Hamilton regularly does at race weekends, Wolff was racing around on an electric scooter, and looking suitably pleased with himself as he did so. <\/p>\n

\nHamilton and Wolff are known to share a close relationship from their 12 seasons spent together at Mercedes<\/a>, and they are still regularly seen in the paddock together chatting. Maybe Wolff is taking tips from the seven-time world champion about how to arrive in style. <\/p>\n

Hamilton’s Mercedes relationships<\/p>\n

\nHamilton remains close with his former colleagues, with Wolff revealing earlier this year that Hamilton still visits his office on a race weekend, speaks to the engineers and flies to grands prix with Wolff, George Russell<\/a> and Valtteri Bottas<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\nThat’s despite the fact that the 40-year-old is now trying to build a relationship with Ferrari<\/a>, having joined the team in January in the hope of once again being able to challenge for an eighth world title. <\/p>\n

\nHamilton has had a difficult start to life at Ferrari, having not picked up a single grand prix podium across the first 17 races of his time at the team. <\/p>\n

\nHe’s currently sat down in sixth in the drivers’ championship<\/a>, and may just be wishing that he had stayed with Mercedes, with the Brackley-based outfit currently above Ferrari in the constructors’ championship<\/a>. <\/p>\n
