Toto Wolff and Mercedes faced another difficult F1 weekend in Australia with both drivers failing to score points
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has acknowledged concerns about his leadership role within the organization after a challenging start to the F1 season. The team faced setbacks at the Australian Grand Prix, with retirements and crashes affecting their performance. Despite his contract extension until 2026, Wolff is open to suggestions and input from others in order to turn the team’s situation around quickly. Technical director James Allison also committed long-term, but Lewis Hamilton’s departure at the end of the year has added to the team’s uncertainties. Wolff maintains that Mercedes’ struggles are primarily related to the physics of the car, not organizational issues, and is willing to consider any ideas that could help improve the team’s performance.
