Quote from the end of the interview then -
Finally, I ask him if the appointment of Mercedes lifer and former AMG boss Tobias Moers as Aston Martin’s new CEO is part of a bigger Merc play – as we’re convinced it is.
“Tobias and I have known each other for many years and worked together so closely,” he says with a laugh. “Even though he’s part of the furniture, when he came to me and said he had this opportunity and asked my advice, more as a friend than a colleague or boss, I said, ‘Tobias, you’ve spent all your career at AMG, here’s a chance to do something completely different. I hate to see you go but if I was in your shoes I would do it’. Let’s call it a friendly exit. Our partnership with Aston Martin is robust. Will it lead to more? We will see, but nothing that I can comment on today.”
Not a no, then.
