Toto Wolff reveals wild Mercedes F1 replacement plan
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff addressed speculation about his future after the unexpected departure of Red Bull’s Christian Horner, jokingly hinting at a new role as a critic from a sun lounger if he doesn’t perform well as team principal. Despite the risks in F1 and the pressure to deliver results, Wolff’s multi-faceted role at Mercedes, including CEO and co-owner, makes his departure less likely compared to Horner’s situation at Red Bull. At 53 years old and holding a significant stake in the team, Wolff is expected to remain a key figure in the sport, especially with promising young talents like Kimi Antonelli emerging under his leadership. His legacy and impact on Mercedes go beyond just being a team principal, ensuring his continued presence in the paddock for the foreseeable future.
