Toto Wolff says he will remain Mercedes team principal “for a long time” but will also build “a structure for the future”.
Toto Wolff has been the Mercedes team principal since 2013, but is aware that a suitable replacement must be found for him in the future.
However, he believes it is “many years away”. “The clear goal is to build a structure for the future and it is only my responsibility for the team,” the Austrian told AP Sport.
“A stone can fall on my head and what will it look like afterwards? That’s why I would like to see myself in a few years, maybe not participating in 24 races and only 15.
“But that’s many years away. I see myself in this role for a long time. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.” Back in 2020, Toto wondered what the future would bring, but he finally realized that his passion was driving Mercedes. “2020. In 2008, I had serious difficulties to decide whether I wanted to continue being active in sports or be a shareholder and return to my financial world. “I was mentally and physically tired, but then I realized that I wanted to continue.
“I feel I am contributing to a team in the cross world of finance and motorsport and I have a passion for both. “And that’s why I keep doing it,” Wolff concluded.
