F1 75 was a grand spectacle in London’s O2. Thousands of fans were in attendance to witness the launch of the 2025 season. The show was hosted by popular comedian Jack Whitehall. Whitehall took a hilarious dig at Mercedes over Lewis Hamilton‘s move to Scuderia Ferrari.

The English comedian spotted Hamilton sitting at the Ferrari table for the first time. He urged fans to start praying for Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff. Whitehall reckoned that Wolff was living the worst nightmare as his decade-long partner had run off with an “Italian stallion,” a clever take on Lewis Hamilton’s switch.

Lewis! Lewis, of course, on the Ferrari table tonight! Yes! Pray for Toto. It’s everyone’s worst nightmare, your partner of ten years running off with an Italian stallion.

Moreover, Jack Whitehall asserted that F1 75 was a massive sight for Hamilton fans. As the seven-time world champion would be seen in red for the first in an official Formula 1 event. Lewis Hamilton greeted the crowd during Ferrari’s livery reveal and mentioned that he was full of energy.

Jack Whitehall asks Toto Wolff to ‘change’ eyeballs

The F1 75 did not hold back from his attacks on Wolff. Whitehall claimed that the Mercedes boss should change his eyeballs to ‘wets.’ He referred to the wet compound tires used during rain by F1 drivers, hinting that Toto Wolff might be in tears when he saw Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari colors.

Toto, I hope you’ve changed your eyeballs to wets.

Jack Whitehall joked

The comments made by Whitehall might’ve made some uncomfortable in O2. Though, both Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff smiled without expressing any resentment, it is likely that the two were not extremely fond of the jokes. Nevertheless, Whitehall did create an interesting scene for fans in attendance.
