F1 | Mercedes following in the footsteps of Ferrari: the idea of ​​a satellite team is born

In the footsteps of the strategy adopted in recent seasons by Ferrari, Mercedes would be thinking of relying on a satellite team, with which to establish a relationship that goes far beyond the simple supply of engines. She admitted it Toto wolff, in the long interview given to ESPN: "This is something we are considering. It's not easy because you don't want to distract your organization with a collaboration with another team. We're not the only ones with smart ideas. It's a topic of which we are discussing, but at the moment there is nothing concrete yet". For a few years now, the German company has been supplying Power Units to Williams e Force India, and he placed precisely at the latter Esteban Ocon, junior pilot of the Star.

The executive director of the Brackley team then praised Ferrari for choosing to deepen its partnerships with Haas and, especially, Clean (see Alfa Romeo's intervention): “I think what they're doing Sergio Marchionne e Maurice Arrivabene he is very intelligent. They have established a good relationship with Haas and this has helped them, as it has helped Ferrari. Instead, what they are doing with Sauber is a lot visionary: this alliance can really be dangerous for us".
