However, the late Wolf is talking about handing over the baton as an uncontrollable successor.
With Formula 1 looking at a potential 23-run calendar for next season, Wolfe thinks it’s time to look at the next generation of leaders in the ranks of Mercedes.
“The truth is that it’s affecting us all a lot and I’ve always been of the opinion that you should never go from good to good, because then someone has to pick up the baton and run,” Wolf said. .
“I still feel like I can contribute, I really enjoy the race weekend. And I’ve come to enjoy them more than lockdown. I just need to think about how I want the team to move forward.
“We had a huge handful of responsibilities while maintaining informed and senior leadership in the company, but at the same time it did not hinder the young talent from coming forward.
“It’s something I find very interesting, and as I look forward to the next few years, I’m very proud to see the team principal come, take over from me, and I do better than that. Time This is a very interesting project for me.
“I don’t think I will disappoint the team. I am a partner and I will be with the team, this is what we have agreed with Daimler, but maybe again in another application. Whether it’s the CEO, or the chairman, we haven’t figured it out yet.
“Daimler likes me a lot. But, before I switch to a new role, I need to make sure someone else is doing 23 runs and I can enjoy myself in front of a zoom screen. ”

The 48-year-old, however, will not give a date for how the balance of power will change.
Asked if this could be the start of next season, he replied: “I have spent a lot of time incorporating leadership within the MGP, and we have not identified any identities for the future.
“So, I can’t tell you it’s a year, two or three. The main thing is not that I am in the business of running, because I enjoy competition. And as long as I enjoy the competition, I think I can contribute to the success of the team.
“But, while I’m enjoying myself, I also need to make sure that things change a lot in the future, and I don’t know when it’s because I haven’t identified the right person yet. ”
