Racing Daydreams - Toto Wolff press conference

What a week for our sport.

What does the future hold for Formula One?

The title of this piece is no coincidence. It is a hat-tip to classic ‘Motor Sport’ magazine, for I have spent much time wondering what Jenks would have made of it all… of this mess.

Anyone with an interest will have seen & heard that AMG-Mercedes Petronas F1 have broken their silence today. Many of you will have seen extracts of a press conference that Toto Wolff held with the specialist press. Personally I found it fascinating, passionate… and emotional.

Racing Daydreams, in association with our friends at Race Day Replay, are pleased to present the entire 56-minute press conference – in English & German.

Illuminating today – historically important tomorrow… whatever the future holds for the Grand Prix formula, and its current guardians.

The Best, or Nothing – A New Grand Prix Formula for 2022

Director Sailer, who was in great form at the Mercedes dinner, made a most amusing speech concerning his early motor-racing career, and ended up by saying, “Some people think that motor-racing is no longer interesting, because Mercedes-Benz always win – we cannot help this, as we have been winning races for forty years, and do […]
