"He’s has driven better, he’s been better out of the car. Very, very complete. But as we try to reach f🍨or more it’s never completely complete.

"We had times w🥃hen the car was good enough to win and times when the car was not good enough ⛎to win, and he was very stable.

"His racecraft is great and that is always one of h💫is strengths - this year that was definitely one of the key factors.

“We all do mistakes. Small ones. [But] he♐ didn't.”

The Briton’s latest title triumph moved him level with former Mercedes driver Juan Manuel Fangio in second place on the list of most cham🦂pionship wins, behind only Michael Schumacher.

Wolff reckons Hamilton is far from ♏done yet and has displayed the qualities required to go on and beat Schumacher’s records.

"You know whilst you are in a career, you never get to acknowledge greatness," he said. "You get to acknowledge when a caree🌳r is over.

"We need to somehow rea꧟lise that there is a five-time world🧸 champion who has just equalled Fangio's record. There is not many among them out there.

“I 🍌have never met Mr. Fangio🌸. Just read [about him]. I think that his ability of combining talent with hardwork, intellect and emotional intelligence.

“All great champio๊ns have all four of them. If one is missing, you can still be a suc✨cessful racing driver but you’re never going to achieve this greatness.

"As long as he’s in a good car and continues enjoying what he does today, there is mo🅰re to come,” Wolff added.

"But the reason he’s won the 𝔍fifth championship, is that he concentrates on the job in hand, and not look too far away.

"Before reach🐟ing seven,☂ there is a sixth to win and we haven't scored a single point for that one.

"As lo𒁃ng as we pr♒ovide a car that is competitive and can win championship and he continues to drive like he does, this can be a relationship forever."
