Mercedes boss Toto is no longer a part of Valtteri Bottas' management team following the Finn's move to Mercedes.

It's perhaps a little known fact but the 45-year-old Austrian manager is quite the wheeler and dealer with numerous business deals under his name in addition to his Mercedes-linked responsibilities.

As a shareholder of Williams back in the day, Wolff set up his own driver management company and invested in the career of Valtteri Bottas at an early stage along with partners Mika Hakkinen and Didier Coton.

He has now relinquished any involvement with the 27-year-old Mercedes driver.

"It would be a conflict of interest to be involved in the management of a driver and equally being his boss and running the team," Wolff told Sky Sports.

"It's something we agreed a long time ago that there wouldn't be a driver that I'm looking after driving in any Mercedes racing car. And that's what's happening."
