Toto Wolff on Niki Lauda: "I miss you my friend"

As the first week of the summer break comes to a close, Toto Wolff has commented on his friend Niki Lauda. The Mercedes advisor missed the German and Hungarian Grands Prix due to ill health and earlier this week he underwent a lung transplant.

Lauda is reportedly recovering well, but it's more serious than expected. Wolff went on the Mercedes to put some words about his friend.

"Although we should enjoy the start of our summer holidays this evening, none of us at Mercedes should pretend that we feel happy - our thoughts are rather with Niki, Birgit and the Lauda family," Wolff said.

Some very supportive words from Toto Wolff. Current rivals Ferrari also took to Twitter to wish Lauda all the best.
