It is understood that Wolff’s decision to miss the race in Suzuka on April 7 was taken before the start of the new season.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff will be absent from the next Formula One race in Japan, the PA news agency has learned.

Lewis Hamilton qualified only 11th and the worst start to his 18-season career was confirmed when his engine expired on lap 17, while team-mate George Russell was seventh when he crashed out.Wolff, who lives in Monaco, will be on the intercom remotely throughout the race weekend in Japan – with his duties at the circuit to be divided between senior members of the Brackley team.

Wolff admitted in an interview with the PA news agency last year that he intends to scale back his on-track presence in the coming years. Russell failed to make it to the end of Sunday’s race after hitting the wall on the penultimate lap in his pursuit of Fernando Alonso.
