Toto Wolff has led Mercedes to one of the most dominating runs in the sport’s history. Since 2014, the Viennese has helped them clinch seven constructors’ and seven drivers’ championship titles. Sky expert Martin Brundle tried to explain what makes the Mercedes boss one of the most successful team bosses today.
“He is without a doubt a serious entrepreneur. [He] came into Formula 1 and created so much or generated so much power and turned it into money. I’ve never seen anything like this, that’s extraordinary,” said the Briton.
