Toto Wolff has changed his way of communicating with Mercedes as a result of his nationality.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has adjusted his communication style due to the cultural differences between being Austrian and the team being British. The team’s disappointing start to the 2024 season sees them in fourth place in the constructors’ championship, making it Lewis Hamilton’s worst start in his F1 career. Wolff acknowledged the team is working tirelessly to overcome their challenges. Describing Austrians as “very direct” compared to the British, Wolff has modified his approach to better collaborate with the Brackley-based team. Despite high expectations for narrowing the gap with Red Bull this season, Mercedes is facing challenges with its new concept car, the W15. Wolff emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and continuous efforts to address the team’s performance struggles and find solutions.
