Wolff stated, “In an interview with Autosport, he said, “If we are allowed to do this, and nobody else within his universe of teams that he raced [for] would provide him with such an opportunity, we would do this.”
“At the minute, I think they’re absolutely flat out in building the new car for the new season. So I won’t phone Toto right now, but he can expect to get a phone call, eventually, and me ask him to have a go at it.”
He concluded, “The offer really touched me in a good way. I was surprised that it was such a natural way of going for it and obviously I would love to do it. “

“Then, the most recent out of Formula 1 is Kevin [Magnussen], myself and Alex Albon, so we’ve got the experience and we know the most recent cars. So you could expect to get a call.”
