Wolff: Elliot departure has "no correlation" with Mercedes F1 performance
Earlier this week, Mercedes announced that Mike Elliott would be stepping down from his role as Chief Technical Officer. Elliott had swapped roles with technical director James Allison seven months ago. He had played a crucial role in Mercedes’ streak of world championships in Formula 1’s turbo hybrid era. Elliott himself stated that the decision was his own and that he wanted to take a break after working tirelessly in the sport for 23 years. Team boss Toto Wolff denied claims that Elliott’s departure was due to the team’s performance issues, stating that he was one of the most talented individuals in the industry. Elliott’s departure will not impact the development of the 2024 car, as the team has a strong organization and can compensate for his absence.
