Mercedes has ended support for the sailing team.
For several years Mercedes team engineers provided technical support to the Ineos Britannia yacht team competing in the America's Cup — one of the most prestigious regattas in the world. However, team principal Toto Wolff has now confirmed that the collaboration has ended, as Mercedes wants to focus entirely on its Formula 1 efforts.
"We no longer want to be involved in this project," Toto Wolff told Forbes. "We have a Formula 1 team, and we don't want to be involved in sailing or any other sport. All our efforts must be fully focused solely on Formula 1. A new season lies ahead, and we have new goals. We're looking forward and are ready for the upcoming challenges and new opportunities. In 2026 we will not just have a new Formula 1 season; we will transition to a new generation of cars."
