Toto Wolff says he expects Aston Martin to shine in Formula 1 this year. Now, with Wolff also buying into Aston Martin with a minor shareholding, Stroll is taking the carmaker’s name into F1 – and the Mercedes boss is expecting big things. “This is also an upgrade for Formula 1 with a great brand. As for Mercedes’ other rivals, Wolff thinks the toughest challenge will be Red Bull. Wolff also commented on rookie Mick Schumacher, and urges the Formula 1 world to “leave him alone a little bit”. Arguably even more interesting, Wolff said, is Fernando Alonso’s F1 return.
