Susie and Toto Wolff on leadership, family life and the #stayhome era “We definitely won’t go back to how it was before.”

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Stuttgart. Susie and #totowolff, two well-known faces in the motorsport industry, know what it means to stay focused and determined, especially in challenging times. As a couple that works in the same business, they share common experiences and the same formula for success: Pick yourself up and learn from your weaknesses.

Mercedes-Benz Brand Ambassador #susiewolff is Team Principal and shareholder of the Monaco-based Formula E team, ROKiT Venturi #racing. Born in Oban, Scotland, she drove DTM races for Mercedes-Benz from 2006 to 2012 before working as a test and development driver for the Williams team until 2015. In 2014, Susie made history at the British Grand Prix by becoming the first woman to take part in a Formula One race weekend in 22 years as she took to the track as part of the Williams F1 Team.
Toto Wolff is Team Principal and CEO of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. In his capacity as managing partner, he has led the team to an unprecedented six consecutive double championships from 2014 to 2019 – including five world drivers’ titles for Lewis Hamilton. Toto and #susiewolff live with their 3-year-old son Jack in Switzerland and Oxford, England. Toto’s two children from his previous marriage are also part of the family.

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, the innovative #automotive and motorsport industries are also having to cope with special circumstances, with events being cancelled or postponed. We interviewed Susie and #totowolff during this challenging time. In our interview, they talked about leadership being more about trusting and less about leading in the abilities of one’s team – and what they learned from being in lockdown during the COVID-19 situation.
