Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has opened up on his and Lewis Hamilton's Formula 1 future in an exclusive interview to Sky Sports. Wolff's contract expires at the end of this season, and he is likely to move into a new position with Mercedes. "I think I'm going to mix it up a little bit," he revealed to Sky F1. "What I always said is you need to realise where the point comes from very good to good because then you can't contribute any more to an organisation's performance. "I don't feel that this moment has happened yet, but in our team, we look ahead. We look at senior leaders and the potential of young ones coming up. We don't want to create a bottleneck for talent to prosper and this is why far in advance we are already looking at every position." He then explained: "It doesn't mean I'm quitting as team principal, but I'm looking ahead further down the road. I'm a shareholder and co-owner of the team so I wouldn't say that's it and I'm out of here, on the contrary - I'm just contemplating. But while the fun lasts we're going to stick." Asked whether his decisions will affect Hamilton, Wolff said that he doesn't think so. "We have something special because we have a very strong bond that has grown over the years," he said. "We had some difficult times, not sharing opinions, but we have somehow been able to overcome these difficult times and grow together and stronger. "Both of us have realised that when push comes to shove we trust each other. That's very special. At the end of the day, I love working with him and I think he enjoys working with me and I think together - plus the other 2000 team principals [at Mercedes] - we can achieve a lot. "But if one of us would call it a day for whatever reason the team is going to continue to perform. We would miss the best driver, clearly. On the other side if one of us, including myself, decides to go, the team is going to have the same performance, not an inch less. And I think we recognise that, although we want to stay together."
