Toto Wolff: Ross Brawn Has My Vote
"Ross has huge experience, has the right personality and the technical knowledge of potentially playing an important part in F1 going forward.”
Mercedes
F1
boss
Toto
Wolff
says
if
Ross
Brawn
were
to
seek
a
leadership
role
in
Formula
1,
he
will
vote
for
him.
Recently,
Brawn
wrote
in
his
book
'Total
Competition'
that
he
quit
Mercedes
in
2013
because
he
couldn't
trust
Wolff
and
Niki
Lauda.
Ross Brawn has been linked to a return as Sporting Director but he insists that his current role remains limited to consulting. Wolff also said that there are no hard feelings between him and Brawn over those quotes.
Wolff said, "There was lots of controversy around the book he has written, and succession and transition is never easy, it is a delicate matter.
"For me, this is no problem, and we have been in touch and he has said some quite nice things about us not dropping the ball - and the relationship is intact."
When asked about the possibility of Brawn's return to F1, Wolff explained, "Ross has huge experience, has the right personality and the technical knowledge of potentially playing an important part in F1 going forward.
"He has been there forever, he has the right distance from any team after being away for a couple of years.
"If I need to underwrite Ross coming back in a leadership function in F1, he has my vote."
