Wehrlein leaves Mercedes at the end of the season

formula 1

Mercedes has announced that it will end its collaboration with former Formula 1 racer Pascal Wehrlein at the end of the season. Wehrlein won the DTM championship with Mercedes in 2015 and then came to Formula 1, where he competed for the Manor and Sauber teams. He was left without a seat at the end of last season and returned to the DTM, but because the 'silver arrows' will leave the sport at the end of the season, they cannot offer the German racer a competitive seat next season. Toto Wolf said: "Our racing program for young racers was based on supporting them and finding the best opportunities for their careers. However, this is not always a straight path that leads to the top and sometimes it is necessary to realize that participation ends. Unfortunately, we could not provide Pascal with a competitive seat for the next season

The Red Bull team, which also owns the Toro Rosso team, is thus a specialty in the Formula 1 caravan, as the competition has nothing like it. For them, Toro Rosso represents an opportunity where young racers can gain their first real experience with Formula 1 race cars. Some have started describing the Manor team as a Mercedes junior, as their current racers Pascal Wehrlein and Esteban Ocon come from the Mercedes junior team. The team also uses a Mercedes engine for its engine. Toto Wolff in a conversation with reporters rejected such hints. “We don’t own the team and we also have no intention of becoming that. The team will not belong to us in terms of ownership and we will not support it financially, "Wolff was clear, thus showing that they do not want copies of the Toro Rosso team.

Mercedes puts pressure on Rosberg

formula 1

Toto Wolff from the Mercedes team does not hide that he wants further cooperation with Nico Rosberg, whose contract with the Mercedes team is expiring this year, as we have already written.

Already in the DTM series, he showed great professionalism and the ability to win, ”says Wolff, who is proud of Wehrlein. This, of course, also puts pressure on Rosberg, who sounds like the talks at Ferrari are not quite over yet. If Rosberg also told reporters at the last race in Monaco that there were no problems in negotiating with Mercedes, this is clearly not the case. “Our goal and desire is to continue working with Rosberg. However, if we do not coordinate, everyone will have to look for the best solution

formula 1

The first day of testing in Austria, marked by heavy rain, was the fastest Pascal Wehrlein with a Mercedes. Only Antonio Fuoco and Stoffel Vandoorne managed to complete the setting lap in the morning, but then the events on the track were prematurely interrupted due to standing water. The storms did not stop until the lunch break, so the teams decided to extend the test day by two hours. Some rain followed even later in the afternoon, but Wehrlein managed to set up a fast lap in the dry part with super-soft tires that no one later beat. The second fastest was Esteban Ocon with Force Indio just three thousandths ahead of Max Verstappen with Toro Ross. The latter ran out of just three laps to reach the milestone of a hundred laps. Fuoco finished his first day behind the wheel fourth, though after
