Departure of Toto Wolff next? "Will leave a good structure''

Mercedes may be whistling on its way to the seventh world title in a row, but it is not quiet behind the scenes. For example, Toto Wolff seems to be at the end of his period with the team, which may be sold.

Since Eddie Jordan's quotes that Mercedes will be sold to INEOS, there is increasing demand for Mercedes. What is Toto Wolff going to do and who will take over the team? According to Mika Hakkinen, fans of the team at least don't have to worry, because there is already an excellent structure in place.

''Toto announced this weekend that he's considering a different role and that the team might be restructured. You shouldn't underestimate the pressure to always be at every race and to perform and I understand Toto when he is looking for a better balance in his life'', says Hakkinen in his column for Unibet.com.

However, according to the two-time world champion, Mercedes doesn't have to worry. With or without Toto, Hakkinen is convinced that Mercedes will remain a well-oiled machine. ''I'm sure that Toto will leave a structure behind, so that the team can always remain competitive," concludes the Finn.
