Hmmm...…
So an interest in Mercedes, Aston Martin & Williams?

Toto Wolff has rejected suggestions of friction between he and his Mercedes superiors following speculation that his days with the F1 World champions are numbered.
Responding to rumours of a rift with Daimler chief Ola Kallenius, who succeeded Dieter Zetsche, Wolff told Autosport.com: “(They are) two very different personalities but with both of whom I have an excellent working relationship, and more than that actually a friendship.
“With Ola, I had quite a laugh when these rumours came up that there was some dysfunctionality in our relationship.
“We are on the phone many times every single week and he is very involved.
“He is a very good sparring partner for myself that I wouldn’t (want to) miss, in the same way that Dieter was.”
Wolff recently confirmed he had invested in Aston Martin, a company which this week announced it was cutting 500 jobs.
He added: “I have bought a few shares in Aston Martin as a financial investment.
“I believe in the brand, I think the strategy that is being deployed makes sense. Tobias Moers, the new MD, is a guy I’ve known for a long time and I believe he can turn around this business.
It really isn't boring in Toto's World is it....
