Toto Wolff

Toto Wolff is Team Principal, CEO, and part owner of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. An entrepreneur, an investor and a racer, motorsport runs in Toto Wolff’s blood. Under his leadership, the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team has clinched eight consecutive Formula One Constructors’ Championships (2014-2021) and seven consecutive Drivers’ Championships (2014-2020). Having pursued a career as a driver in his teens, Toto’s attention quickly turned to the business and investment world. He enjoyed success developing strategic investments in medium-size industrial companies and listed companies. He soon returned to motorsport though. Merging his passion for racing and investment, Toto became an Executive Director of the Williams F1 Team in 2012, playing a key leadership role as Williams scored its first win in eight years at the Spanish Grand Prix that season. Less than a year later, after being asked to analyse their Formula One performance by the Daimler AG Board, Toto was appointed Managing Partner of the Mercedes F1 Team and acquired a stake in the Brackley-based team alongside co-shareholder Niki Lauda. After achieving unprecedented success, Toto increased his stake in the team at the end of 2020 and continues in his role as Team Principal and CEO to this day.
