Toto Wolff

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has repeated his calls for the reigning Formula 1 world champions to remain modest with a long campaign ahead and fears his squad could struggle at Monaco given its recent form at the iconic street circuit.

Toto Wolff has heaped praise on outgoing Mercedes-Benz head Dieter Zetsche for keeping Mercedes in Formula 1 throughout a difficult period upon its return to the sport.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff hails the reigning Formula 1 world champions’ fifth consecutive 1-2 result at the start of 2019 as “one of the strongest we’ve had in seven years” and says his team doesn’t fear a resurgence from Ferrari or Red Bull.

In keeping with the theme of the 2019 Formula 1 season thus far, Mercedes once again capitalised on Ferrari’s slip-up in qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Saturday to snatch away an unlikely front row lock-out.

Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff came up with the initial suggestion for his team to carry out a double-stack pit stop with its drivers during the Chinese Grand Prix.

So much of the post-Chinese Grand Prix focus lay on Ferrari: its use of team orders; its strategic confusion; its failure – again – to put up any kind of fight for victory.

Mercedes Formula 1 chief Toto Wolff has warned Ferrari could be "opening up a can of worms" through its use of team orders during the Chinese Grand Prix, but understands the call to swap Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel on-track.

Toto Wolff says the rival Ferrari team holds a straight-line speed advantage worth 0.3 seconds in China this weekend, with the deficit being made up by Mercedes through the corners at the Shanghai International Circuit.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff believes the considerable pace deficit his team has suffered to Ferrari of “up to several tenths” means it must apply pressure to force mistakes from its Formula 1 world title rivals.

Mercedes chief Toto Wolff says he always expected Charles Leclerc to be a Formula 1 world title threat in his promotion to Ferrari over the winter and is certain he is already “a young champion in the making”.

Toto Wolff says Mercedes felt “subdued” following its surprise victory in Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix, calling Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc “the emotional winner” after his late demise.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says he would prefer his drivers not to chase the additional fastest lap point introduced for the 2019 Formula 1 season. For this season, drivers can earn a bonus point for setting the fastest lap of the race, providing they finish inside the top ten.

Formula 1 officials could extend the deadline to finalise the sporting and technical regulations for the 2021 season beyond the end of June, according to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.

Mercedes Formula 1 chief Toto Wolff believes Ferrari has a “tiny, tiny edge” over its rivals following Friday’s practice running for the Bahrain Grand Prix, flipping the formbook from Australia two weeks ago.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has confirmed he would back a Formula 1 team cost cap but only if it suited all teams in the future as focus on the sport’s future ramps up with key Liberty Media meetings this week.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says the mindset of his Formula 1 team has not shifted despite its emphatic start to the 2019 season. 

Formula 1 bosses will meet in London on Tuesday for a crunch meeting in a bid to outline the sport’s future and make steps towards a final agreement for 2021 - but will it bring the breakthrough desired?

Mercedes is “open minded” about participating in the second series of Formula 1’s Netflix fly-on-the-wall documentary, having opted out of the first season. 

Mercedes team chief Toto Wolff feels "optimistic" heading into next week's crunch meeting to outline Formula 1's future from 2021.

Mercedes Formula 1 chief Toto Wolff says Red Bull-Honda must be taken seriously as a title contender in 2019 following an impressive first outing for the partnership in Australia last weekend.

While Lewis Hamilton is frequently in the headlines for his activities away from Formula 1, his Mercedes boss Toto Wolff concedes he always has concerns for his prize driver but feels he is smart enough not to take too many risks.

Toto Wolff says the “really tragic” Brexit developments unfolding has made an entertaining watch but ultimately he fears about the impact of the political situation on his Mercedes team.

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has predicted “a proper fight” for the 2019 Formula 1 world titles and expects his squad to be pushed to its limits as it aims to maximise its chances using the new features set to decide the season.

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has warned against painting a “doomsday” scenario of Brexit’s potential impact on Formula 1, believing it is currently difficult to make any plans for possible outcomes.
