American racing legend Mario Andretti has taken a swipe at Toto Wolff amid opposition to Andretti's bid to enter F1, suggesting the Mercedes boss holds too much power in the sport
Ex-F1 star Mario Andretti has taken a swipe at Toto Wolff, suggesting the Mercedes boss holds too much power in the sport.
Andretti submitted paperwork outlining their intent to establish a new F1 team in 2024 to the FIA in February, but there has been no significant progress since. Responding to a suggestion that Wolff is ‘too powerful’, Andretti, who was F1 world champion in 1978, tweeted: “This needed to be said; it’s about time.”
"I think that whoever joins as the 11th team, whoever gets an entry, needs to demonstrate how creative they can be for the business,” Wolff explained.
