Mercedes team principal is bewildered at tone-deaf greed of the European Super League farce as Formula 1 takes steps to be more equitable in order to secure the sport’s long-term future

Wolff is proud that Formula One, a sport involving breathtakingly large sums of money and teams that are notoriously difficult to corral into agreement has, in stark contrast to the failed European football breakaway, proven that working together is the better route to ensuring a long-term future.
