Wolff says he will remain Mercedes team principal

Toto Wolff has joked that Mercedes-Benz chairman Ola Källenius has stopped him from stepping down, telling German publication Bild that he had offered to leave several times over recent years. Mercedes have returned to the top of both championships, with Kimi Antonelli becoming the youngest Formula 1 world champion in history earlier this month and the constructors' title also secured.

Following the Mexican Grand Prix, Wolff said he asks himself each day whether he is contributing to the team's development, and whether he still enjoys the role. He also suggested that the future of the team may see its leadership roles split, with one person representing the team and another handling other responsibilities, though he said this is not on his mind at present.
