But with Toto Wolff at the helm, they won’t rest. Not until they resolve all their existing issues with the W13.

“The problem is that I’m dead in the Maldives without what I’m doing here. The activity in the team, developing the team, is what I really enjoy. Formula 1 is booming. On the revenue side, things are going very well and this is what I actually want to do all my life. In that respect, the question hasn’t arisen until now to say: that’s it.” said Wolff.

“Where did we go wrong? In my time, we did eight out of eight strikes and now we’ve really gone wrong. It’s not like we’re just three-tenths off. But in terms of our personality development, and the values in our team, as bad as it feels, this is an important development. There is no one who is infallible. We’re seeing that right now. But the team is capable of turning things around.” claimed Wolff.
