“We did not see one another over lockdown, we have been in numerous elements of the world however in common contact,” mentioned Wolff.
“We did not work on any settlement between us however there’s quite a lot of belief, we have been collectively for a very long time and by no means on this time did we’ve got to take the contract out and really learn what was written as a result of it comes so naturally.
“As soon as racing resumes we’ll spend a while collectively, take the contract out of the cabinet, have a look at the timings, the numbers, the rights, and hopefully have one thing fairly quickly.”
