In the center of a square field, a hare sits, surrounded by four wolves positioned at each corner. The hare can move freely within the field, while the wolves can only move along the sides of the square. Given that the maximum speed of each wolf is at most 1.4 times the maximum speed of the hare, is it possible for the hare to escape the square without being caught by the wolves?
