Mercedes has made the most of the funny moment starring their head and CEO, Toto Wolff, following an incident that went viral during the Australian Grand Prix. In a recent video, the team has parodied the situation in which Wolff accidentally bumped into an arch while riding through the paddock on an electric scooter.
Wolff, who was seen laughing at his own clumsiness, has become the center of attention on social media. Now, with their sights set on the Chinese Grand Prix, the Brackley team has decided to shoot a new video, where Wolff is again seen with his scooter, but this time wearing a racing helmet.
The video quickly amassed over 400,000 views and generated humorous comments from fans, with one remarking: “Protect the boss at all costs!” while another quipped: “Even his electric scooter is faster than the rest of the grid.”
Additionally, Mercedes has started the 2026 Formula 1 season on the right foot, achieving an impressive 1-2 at the Australian Grand Prix. George Russell was the winner in Melbourne and secured pole position for the sprint race in China, highlighting the team’s strong performance with their new car, the W17.
Russell expressed his satisfaction in the team meeting, stating: “I’m happy to secure pole position for tomorrow’s sprint race, the first of my career. We’ve worked hard to improve our grid starts and manage our tires better on the circuit, knowing there’s always potential for surprises during sprint races.”
