F1 | Mercedes, Wolff on Allison: "It's normal that he is on the radar of the big teams..."

James Allison is betrothed to Mercedes, where he should inherit the position of technical director left vacant by Paddy Lowe. Toto Wolff, speaking to the Germans about Auto Motor Und Sport, however, made it clear that we still have to wait, even if he did not deny the upcoming hiring of the former Ferrari director.

“We have a great group of technicians. We have to wait, but it is natural that a coach like James Allison is on the radar of the strongest teams. Last year the difference between the various engines was a tenth and a half, this year it could be less than a tenth, so we will need to have an even more competitive chassis..." Wolff's words, who thus implied that the arrival of a team player like the former Maranello director would be something very welcome to Brackley.
