Christian ‘Toto’ Wolff has admitted he might increase his minority stake in the Williams team to 49 per cent in the future.<\/p>\n
It emerged last week that, alongside founders and long-time owners Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head, the stake bought by Austrian entrepreneur Wolff in 2009 was 10 per cent.<\/p>\n
“I can confirm it is 10 per cent,” he is quoted by the German-language motorline.cc.<\/p>\n
“But I have an option to increase my minority stake to a strategic investment.”<\/p>\n
The publication said Wolff’s share could increase to as much as 49 per cent, also quoting him as saying he would consider exercising the option “in time”.<\/p>\n
But he rejected British reports that the Oxfordshire based team is in financial trouble and struggling with losses and debt.<\/p>\n
“If you look at the last 12 months, 2009 for us was a good and very profitable year,” Wolff insisted.<\/p>\n
