Main Story: Kimi Antonelli’s success has prompted Toto Wolff to reassess whether he remains the right person to lead Mercedes, but he says he has no immediate plans to step down. Wolff sees F1’s growing demands pushing teams toward shared leadership, and Mercedes has already begun that shift by giving Bradley Lord broader responsibilities.

By the Numbers
  • Wolff has led Mercedes since 2013.
  • F1’s calendar has expanded to 24 races.
Yes, But

Wolff says he questions every day whether he is still contributing at his best, and would move aside if someone could do the job better. Still, he says he is not preparing to leave and is focused on continuing in his current role.

State of Play
  • Bradley Lord is taking on more day-to-day and organizational work.
  • Wolff believes Mercedes’ leadership will eventually be divided among multiple roles.
Bottom Line

Wolff isn’t signaling an exit; he’s preparing Mercedes for a future less dependent on one all-purpose team principal.
