Wolff: Force India takeover "not on our agenda at the moment"

Mercedes might be providing engines and talents to Force India, but the German team has no plan to take over the Pink Panthers, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has said.

The rumours of a potential take over gained traction after the Monaco Grand Prix, when Force India received team orders from Mercedes. Well, that's not confirmed, but (Mercedes junior) Esteban Ocon let Lewis Hamilton pass as if he was instructed to let him pass.

"Force India is a costumer that we know very well, but at the moment there are no plans of buying the team," Wolff explained to Sky Italia.

Maybe Ocon letting Hamilton past was a way of letting Mercedes know he's on their side? It definitely was on purpose, but the question remains the motive of Ocon. He might've just realized that he would never win a battle against Hamilton, or maybe he didn't want to anger Mercedes.
