Toto Wolff has still not clarified his future at Mercedes. The Austrian has won everything there is to win with the team and would like to take a step back, but above all does not want to hold back any talent.
Getting in the way of talent
"I think I have responsibility for everybody at Mercedes and like with any senior position in the past, we are looking at the future," says Wolff on the Formula 1 website. The team boss says it's a difficult process to hire the right people.
"We don’t want to lose any senior capability but equally not be a bottleneck for talent," Wolff explains. "We’ve done that in the past with Paddy [Lowe, who left his role as Mercedes' Executive Director (Technical) in 2016] and Mark Ellis [the team’s former Performance Director, who left in 2018] and a few others."
Future of Wolff
Wolff says that he has still not taken a decision on his future, but he says that he does not want to leave Mercedes just like that. A more remote position within the team seems an excellent solution to him.
