At the Miami Grand Prix Friday press conference, Toto Wolff joked that Christian Horner is “next in line to quit” F1, and added it would “make life easier”.
It was revealed last month that AlphaTauri’s long-time team principal Franz Tost will step down from his role with the team.
While discussing this in the Miami Grand Prix Friday press conference, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff used the occasion to joke with Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, about Horner’s own possible retirement.
“[Franz Tost and I] are obviously both Austrians,“ Wolff said.

“We have a past where we started racing on the old Osterreichring, both instructors in the same racing school, but we missed each other by a few years.
“Are you [Tost] the longest standing, or are you [Horner] the longest standing team principal?
“[To Horner] Okay, so you’re next in line to quit,” Wolff said with a smile.
“That would make life easier!” he concluded.
