Wolff looked into buying Toro Rosso
By Editor on Friday, May 10, 2013 Toto Wolff turned down Dietrich Mateschitz when the Red Bull magnate offered to sell him Toro Rosso.
Wolff, who subsequently bought into Williams and is now Mercedes' new co-owner and motor sport director, said billionaire Mateschitz made the approach in 2009.
'One day, Dietrich Mateschitz landed by helicopter and offered to sell me Toro Rosso,' Austrian Wolff told the French news agency AFP.
