Wolff relishing pairing of Mercedes duo Ocon and Wehrlein at Manor

Mercedes F1 team chief Toto Wolff is relishing the clash of two Mercedes proteges, teamed up at Manor, starting this weekend at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Formula 1 rookie Pascal Wehrlein has 12 grand prix races under his belt, while 19 year old Esteban Ocon makes his debut at the highest level at the daunting Spa-Francorchamps Circuit.

The prospect of measuring the two highly rated drivers is welcomed by Wolff, "We're pleased to see both of our junior drivers side-by-side at Manor, with Esteban joining Pascal on the grid from this weekend,"

"The coming races will be important for both of their development, so we will watch their progress with great interest. There is plenty to be excited about heading into these next nine races. I, for one, can't wait to get back out there."
