The future of Toto Wolff has been talked about for a long time. The Mercedes team boss himself doesn't deny that he may have other plans for the future. However, those plans have a big impact, because Lewis Hamilton doesn't like it without Wolff.
In conversation with Jack Plooij for Dutch TV-program Formula 1 Cafe, Wolff doesn't give much more clarity, although he seems to be having a good time at Mercedes.
Handing over the baton
"I still like it, but everything has an expiration date. As long as I can contribute, I want to keep doing it, and one day I will hand over the baton to someone else", says Wolff in conversation with Jack Pooij for Formula 1 Café.
"I may already have some ideas, but that's not something for the short term. First I will have to bring them in and guide them. That will take several years."
With this, Wolff seems to suggest that he is not planning to leave Mercedes yet. Robert Doornbos, however, expects that he does have other plans. 'Toto Wolff is a businessman, he also has interests in Aston Martin. I expect him to sell his stake in the Mercedes F1 team and embark on a new adventure at Aston Martin'.
