Toto Wolff is set to become the next father in the F1 paddock.
Bild newspaper in Germany reports that the Mercedes team chief’s wife Susie, the former Williams test driver, is pregnant with their first child.
"Yes, it’s true," Wolff, 44, confirmed in Austin.
"My wife Susie is pregnant and we are expecting our baby in April. Whether it is a boy or a girl, the main thing is that it is healthy."
Scot Susie Wolff, 33, is now an expert pundit for British television Channel 4, but she has missed races recently and according to Bild she will also be absent in Austin and Mexico.
