The Mercedes team principal was spotted have a chat with the head of the FIA at the British Grand Prix where his two drivers were competing at their home race.

Toto Wolff has not been shy to voice his opinions on any F1-based topic

Wolff: There was an exchange

“It was entertaining,” he said, as quoted by PlanetF1. “The discussion was normal but it’s always good.

“There’s a few things that can be discussed. We discussed the overall situation in Formula 1, Concorde and these things.

“But it is more, we haven’t seen each other for a while and there was an exchange on a few topics.”

Ben Sulayem is not taking such a hands-on approach with F1 this season but still makes an appearance in the paddock at most events throughout the year.
