Does he still own 16% of Williams or has he sold his shares?
Toto will be relinquishing his seat on the Company’s Board of Directors but will retain his shareholding.

I'm just wondering does he still own 16%. Williams Grand Prix Holdings PLC is noted in Frankfurt Stock Exchange and anyone can sell or buy its shares. Wolff leaving Williams will surely lowers its stock price and even more if he has sold some of his shares. Or maybe he has sold some of his shares in IPO if he had them before it.

Mercedes has signed Paddy Lowe.

That'd be a good signing. Presumably because of Lewis's presence?

Wolff was taking him to Williams, but after he moved to Mercedes, he brought him there too.

That's a bit of an odd one. So he wanted to work for Toto Wolff rather than work for Williams? And presumably he had a specific role he was going to at Williams, is there are specific vacancy for him at Mercedes?

Just saw it on sky, Brawn being removed for Paddy Lowe to lead the team!?

If so, Ross, you always were better in Red.

Adam Cooper speculated Lauda had been making appointments without consulting Brawn. This has his fingerprints all over it.

Niki Lauda is a knob. He always has been when he isnt behind the steering wheel. The only bloke i wish James Hunt actually chinned, instead of marshall's. I feel lewis may start regretting his move come december.

You have to wonder what Lewis is making of this. He said how much he respects Brawn, whose presence seemed to be a factor in Mercedes' favour. He gets to Mercedes, and Brawn is possibly replaced by Toto Wolff and Paddy Lowe, a senior figure at McLaren the team Lewis was leaving to try something new!
