Mercedes boss, Toto Woolff, has said Lewis Hamiltion’s sensitivities are expected, as this is a trend he has seen in successful people.

Woolff said that the sensitivity experinced by Hamilton make him vulnerable, ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend.

He said to the PA Agency: “Being sensitive means you are vulnerable, but being sensitive also means that you sense better than others and that can be of a huge advantage.

“Lewis develops constantly and it is a slope that never ends. As a personality, he is able to question himself and when something happens he is the first one to say, ‘Was it my mistake or not?’”

Hamilton, 36, recently revealed on social media that he struggles with his mental health.

The British driver signed only a one-season contract extension in February and hinted at Mercedes’ launch that this campaign could be his last.
