Formula 1 | Mercedes, Wolff denies negotiations with Force India for the purchase of the team: "We are not interested"
On the order to Ocon he added: "There was no communication"
In an interview given to Sky Italia, Toto Wolff spoke about the possible purchase of Force India by Mercedes, underlining how in Brackley, at least for now, there is no intention to carry out a move of this type. According to several English sources, we recall, Wolff has started contacts with Vijay Mallya for the purchase of the factory, with the intention of transforming it into a B team for the young people of the Mercedes Academy.
Here are the words of Toto Wolff: “There are some family teams, perhaps closer due to partnership issues, but in the end everyone works and does the best for themselves. Force India is a customer we know very well, but there is no plan to purchase the facility."
Furthermore, regarding the team order given to Esteban, Ocon partially retracted what he said in Monaco, underlining that no communication came from the Mercedes pits: “I spoke with Esteban for a long time and there was no order.”
