Formula One News » Ross Brawn still in charge on the Mercedes pit wall Posted on 13/02/2013

Rumour had it just a few weeks ago, that Ross Brawn was on his way out at Mercedes-Benz after new signings Niki Lauda and Toto Wolff joined the board.

However Toto has spoken out about Ross Brawn and his role within the team.

“On the pit wall everything will remain the same, I think it would be totally wrong for Niki to get involved on the pit wall and equally for me. It is Ross’s call and Ross’s decision that is the team’s decision.”

Speaking about Niki Lauda, Toto said “He’s a non-executive chairman, so that means he chairs the board and he’s in a non-executive function. He guides us and steers us and gives us support, and where it’s needed he gets involved.”
