Wolf is not afraid of Lewis Hamilton’s free cases

Lewis Hamilton recently wrote on his social media accounts that he does freefall as a hobby and has gotten very good at it. In fact, the Brit managed ten free falls in the sky over Dubai in one day after the Saudi Arabian GP.

Many Formula One teams prohibit – usually with contractual terms – any dangerous driver engagement, even driving a motorcycle, but Mercedes F1 director Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton is free to do as he pleases on his own.

Hamilton specifically wrote that “I’ve been doing freefalls for several years, but of course with the pandemic I couldn’t train in it. I’ve done ten falls and learned something new with each one. “It’s a fantastic way to clear your head before committing to the next race.”

When asked about it in Melbourne, Toto Wolff said he had no problem with it: “I allow everything. Because that’s what makes Lewis so special. Other drivers meditate to prepare, but Lewis jumps out of a plane to “clear his head.” That’s the way it has to be!” said the Austrian.

And he continued: “As long as his performance stays where it should be, he can do anything. And believe me, performance will soon be where it should be.”

Incidentally, Hamilton was at the center of another non-competitive issue in Melbourne: the FIA ​​ban on drivers wearing jewelry – such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings – in the cockpit of their cars. It’s a decision made for security reasons.

However, Lewis replied quite sharply that he will go to the Imola game this Easter.with more jewelry”. And he continued: “The jewelry stays. I think you should be allowed to be who you are. And these are things I can’t remove. I literally can’t even get what I’m wearing in my ears. They’ve been assimilated there now, so I’ll have to cut them or something.”
