By way of example, the Mercedes boss supported Hamilton Racing well into his 40s. “You see today’s athletes pushing the boundaries in terms of age,” Wolf commented.

“For me, Fernando is performing at a very high level, and you’re looking at the best athlete in the world in Tom Brady. He’s still throwing the ball, and he’s 43 years old.”

“As long as you continue to take care of yourself and develop your cognitive senses, then he [Hamilton] He has many more years in him, and I’m sure that’s going to be the case with the team here,” Wolff concluded.

It’s good to see Wolf seeing age as just a number while using the perfect examples of Tom Brady and Fernando Alonso to answer all the doubters.
