The ex-grand prix racer is a former team principal at the Venturi Formula E team, until he joined Mercedes at the start of 2023 as its driver development director.
Since then, the Belgian has been tasked with looking after Mercedes’ young driver programme alongside Gwen Lagrue.
However, beyond those responsibilities, it was thought that d’Ambrosio could eventually form part of Wolff’s long-term succession plan and could be a candidate to take over running of the squad eventually.
Speaking at the start of last year, Wolff said that while he would focus on young drivers in the short-term, it was possible that d’Ambrosio could take further responsibilities in the future.
“He's looking after the young driver programme in very close cooperation with Gwen, who has been doing it very successfully over the last few years,” said Wolff.
“With Gwen’s team we are looking at grassroots motorsports from the early stages of go-karts, and this is where Gwen is very active, and he was the one working with James [Vowles].
“And now within the Brackley structure it’s Jerome who has taken that over, and he's looking at things and there's plenty of scope with what James did beyond the strategy work. So I see Jerome growing in the organisation, but at this stage, that's his area.”
