Lewis Hamilton says his Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff remains fully engaged with the team when he stays home on race weekends.
Last year Wolff skipped the Japanese and Brazilian races in part to create an opportunity to delegate to others, and to demonstrate that the team could operate without him on site. This year a knee operation obliged him to miss Suzuka, and he is also absent from this weekend’s Qatar GP as he continues his recuperation. Hamilton says that despite Wolff not being present on-site, the Austrian remains fully in touch with what’s going on at the track.

Shoot, if I owned the team, I'll definitely take weekends off! “Not that he's taking the weekend off. But you know what I mean? He has the right to if he wanted to, but it’s just because he's recovering. “And I just tell him we'll be pushing.
