Toto Wolff Absent from Mercedes in Azerbaijan
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli's team will likely travel to Baku without its team principal. The exact reasons can only be speculated upon at present.
At the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Andrea Kimi Antonelli could take the next step towards the world championship title.
However, according to various media reports, a familiar name is expected to be absent in Baku: Toto Wolff. The team principal of the "Silver Arrows" is expected to follow the race remotely. The exact reasons for his absence are unclear. It is speculated that his absence is related to the tight race calendar.
Wolff and Co. Face "Demanding Period"
Formula 1 is now entering its decisive phase, a fact the Austrian is well aware of: "It will be a demanding time for the entire team, both in the factories and at the racetrack. The recovery time between races is very short, which is why preparation, reliability, and operational execution will become even more crucial."
At the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Bradley Lord will take his place in the Mercedes team principal's chair. The situation is not new for the 46-year-old: He already stepped in for Toto Wolff at the Japanese Grand Prix at the start of the season.
