Toto Wolff on being a Mercedes shareholder, next F1 team principal, and James Vowles returning
Vowles left his role at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s chief stra🐭tegist to become Willia𒊎ms team principal.
Wolff, who runs the Mercedes F1 operation but also owns 33 percent of it, explained how his role as shareholder is more crucial ♎than his job leading the team.
"I🅘've always been very open about how I felt going forward," Wolff said.
"I've made a step beyoꦚnd the actual employment and my role within the team of being a shareholder is a lꦺong-term decision.
"I keep introspecting of how much I can contribute to the organisation, and if one day I believe that there are shortcoming in an area, be it on the sporting, technical or commercial side or in the politics, I would not hesitate for a s🀅econd about appointing someone to that area of finding someone who could take over what I do.
"Because as a co-shar🍌eholder, my main interest is that the team prospers ✃and that we are winning on track.
"That is 90 percent of what I do and the ot𓆏her 10 percent is business or financial development of the company.”
Wolff eve🉐n said that Vowles could ♋eventually come back to Mercedes as his replacement.
"Never say never because he is g🅘reat,” Wolff said.
“I h𝔉ope that he is going to have a long career as team principal at Williams and hop♑efully we see him in the press conferences after successful weekends.
"He could, have a 10-year stint there.
"You just need to let the bird fly out and do his own thing, and not at that stage anticipating that he is going to come back.🌳"
