Toto Wolff has suggested that he will stay at Mercedes despite rumours linking him with a role at Formula One. Wolff has overseen Mercedes' dominant period in the sport, winning a record six drivers' and constructors' doubles in a row since 2014.

CEO of Liberty Media Chase Carey is on a rolling contract at the helm, and Wolff had been identified as a potential successor for the moustachioed Carey.

Whilst the offer may be attractive for the 47-year-old, he says he enjoys his current role at Mercedes.

Wolff told motorsport.com: “What I found out is that I enjoy the relationships within the team and the relationships to the decision makers in Daimler. That is a fundamental part of my well-being.

“They have really trusted us and given us all the room that we need to make this team successful. And I'm not taking it lightly to come up with the right decision for all of us. 

"This is a process that's going to take a little bit of time, but I don't see any surprises as it stands.”
