Will Toto Wolff retire amid the current Mercedes 2022 struggles?
With their worst start of a season in the entire turbo-hybrid era, Mercedes is all over the place. Especially with the W13’s porpoising performance issues. The team principal of the Silver Arrows, Toto Wolff, solidified his stance on the team. After the poor weekend at Imola, he even apologized to Lewis on the team radio. And in a recent interview, Wolff shared his thoughts on his plans to retire from the sport or team.
“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.

All failures are part of learning
“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.
