Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has revealed his distaste towards being regarded as a “leader” as he believes he is not the sole individual who warrants that tag.
Since taking over as Team Principal in 2013, Toto Wolff has been the key figure at Mercedes, also inheriting the positions of CEO and Co-Owner. Under his leadership, Mercedes achieved an unprecedented eight consecutive Constructors’ Championships from 2014 to 2021. Despite being recognized as the long-serving leader of the team, Wolff has reservations about the term “leader,” as he sees Mercedes as a collective organization where multiple individuals, such as Lewis Hamilton and James Allison, play leadership roles. Wolff emphasizes the importance of everyone contributing to the team’s success and working towards common objectives. Constantly battling self-doubt, Wolff scrutinizes even his morning routine to ensure he optimizes his time and mental state for peak performance.
