Toto Wolff has rubbished suggestions Mercedes could be about to be taken over in a sensational $900 million deal by 2020 sponsor Ineos. I also have no reason to give up my share in the team, so this is all fiction,” Wolff insisted. Nonetheless, the rumours about Wolff’s future in particular are likely to persist, as he has been openly musing about whether he wants to continue as team boss. Told that there is ‘still no clarity’ about his or Hamilton’s futures, Wolff answered: “I will use your own wording to say that regarding the future of the team, there is complete clarity. As for his role at the top of the title-winning team, Wolff added: “It looks like I’m staying, yes. “I feel very close to the team, but I have to figure out for myself what the coming years will look like.
