Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff says he is still weighing up w🅘hether he wants to continue in his role as team principal after the 2020 season.

Under Wolff’s leadership, Mercedes has become the most successful F1 team in history and is on course to claim the unprecedented feat of winning seven consecutive wor🌜ld championship doubles this year.

Wolff arrived as Mercedes’ F1 team principal and head of motorsport in 2013 and is out of contract at the end of theꦦ current season, w💟ith talks about extending his position ongoing.

The Austrian insisted d♍iscussions with the German manufacturer have been “positive” but said he remains in a “moment of reflection” about his fu♍ture role.

“These are di𒅌scussio𓆏ns which are ongoing, and which are positive, and I enjoy them,” Wolff explained. “I don’t want to give it a spin that I’m leaving, because that is not the case.

“It’s just I’m in a moment of reflection where F1 is heading to, wha⛦t is happening around the Covid case, an🌌d also personal reasons which I said before.

“Susie [Wolff] is in a good place🍌 running a Formula E team and that means she’s away a lot. I’ve been to God knows how many Fo♔rmula 1 races, I think 120 F1 races in the last eight years. And that’s something we’re thinking about.”

Wolff stressed his considerations relate to the exact nature of his future position wit🐭hin the team, rather than a possible departure from Mercedes and F1 altogether.

“What that means for the future is a decision I need to take🔥, together with my wife, and together with Ola [Kallenius, Chairman ꦡof Daimler],” he added.

“That doesn’t mean I won’t be around as a Team Principal, or I won’t be around in 𝓡another rol𝐆e. It’s just that I’m thinking about it.

“I really have enjoyed many years in F1, in that role [Team Principal], and the discuss🎶ions we are having are very good. I’m happy that my relationship with Ola is probably as good as it can be.

“We speak almost every day. There are many factors whic♛h make me want to stay in F1. On the other side, it takes a toll, and this 🔥plays into my consideration. But as it stands, there is no reason not to continue with Mercedes, and we will find out in which role.”

Reigning six-times world champion Lewis Hamilton is widely expected to remain at Mercedes but the Briton is yet to begin talks over a renewed deal, citing he feels uncomf♚ortable negotiating a “big contract” in the current climate.

While Wolff and Hamilton enjoy a strong and pivotal relationship within the team, the Merced🌳es chief doubts his own decision would influence Hamilto🦩n’s future in any way.

“I think Lewis staying at this moment is the best he can do and i𓄧s what he wants to do,” Wolff said. “He has the possibility of achieving great success going forward, wi🧸nning more races and hopefully championships.

“It’s flattering that he says that is depe🦩ndent on what I do. But he does💦n’t need me. He has a great team there, that will always support him.”
