Toto Wolff admits F1 success is detrimental to other series as he explains Mercedes exit

Toto Wolff believes the success Formula 1 has enjoyed in recent years has come at a cost to other racing series.

His Mercedes team has been the most successful of the last decade. Eight consecutive constructors' titles won between 2014 and 2021 is the best run ever achieved in the sport's history and, despite a poor 2022 season by their own standards, the Silver Arrows are expected to be in the mix for silverware again next year.

But while the carmaker is committed to its F1 project, it has cut back in other areas. Mercedes quit the German touring cars series DTM at the end of the 2018 season and, this year, withdrew from Formula E despite having won the last two championships in a row.
