TOTO WOLFF | Inside The Mind Of A Five Time F1 World Champion | Beyond Victory #8

[@olegmatveyev8552]

Nico about Toto: "You are standing on the pole of the peak of Everest, there's nowhere up..." Mercedes goes on with four 1-2 in the first four races, an all-time record. TOP! Overall, it's the most inspirational podcast I've ever listened to.

I enjoy these interviews, especially the one with Flavio. Each a Masterclass. Through this portion of the interview was the most striking, where Nico you are buttering up Toto, even now in 2019. How can someone stand on flag pole, that too on Mount Everest. In a way it shows how tall Toto Wolf really is. Great Interview.

Watching the episode on him and Mercedes was so powerful and inspiring. The people in this sport are really what makes it unique to me. Thank you for this Nico I’ll have to go back and watch your old races now!

Don’t know how much you’ve dipped into the history of F1. But if you haven’t already, and since you’re already going to watch old races. I’d suggest some content on Gilles Villeneuve being that he was Canadian. One of the best drivers never to win a world championship, who then had a son who went on to win a world title. Some of Gilles’ old race replays are floating around KZbin and definitely worth watching. The guy had car control like I’ve never seen before.

​@@NicoRosberg , I also thought about "Pursuit of excellence". Because in an essence - these people , you including, do just that - they always find the extra bit. The outcome is that you can always learn something new, but you can also never be excellent because there always comes someone else that breaks the records - hence the pursuit bit. Excellence because these people do excel at what they do and it also combines the many areas in life where you can strive to be the best.

I think they’ll probably end up being mates again, I mean Schumacher used to hate coulthard but they both got on very well as they got older However I just don’t think lewis will do it before he retires. It’s kind of too awkward to do until then imo... especially that he’s still at merc and so might hold back on talking about things in detail

21:50 "Support your kids in an opportunity THEY like. Follow THEM in their passion." Wow--so many parents should learn from Toto here.

But when it comes to things that will really determine their life and what they'll love? Let the kid pick it. I was/am lucky to have parents who were of this mindset with me, but lots of kids aren't, and have parents who want them to pursue something that the kid his/herself would never want to do.

They believe they can do it very deeply. They always strive to find a way to solve numerous problems.

I think Toto is right in saying that high-performance individuals have experienced some form of a trauma or humiliation and im almost sure that Nico has experienced that too. It might be a subconscious thing and you might not realise it, but maybe one experience triggered your "hard working self-improving" characteristic wich ultimately made you become a F1 world champion. Maybe it was the pressure from your father being a world champion, he never put on you, but you put on your self, because you already knew in your childhood that he is expecting something big from you and therefore you where never satisfied with your self. Or maybe you have experienced uncomfortable situations in your carting career due to an opponent which you were not able to defeat and thus started working harder and harder on your self until you were accepting yourself when achieving what you set as a goal and thus developing a strong motivation in self-improving. This trauma or humiliation might be a "normal" experience for these individuals, until they reflect it with a psychologist and finally realise that indeed it played a much bigger role in their life than they initially thought and therefore is a subconscious trauma they were not aware of. This is why most good or bad traumas come up in the old age after a long time. A fantastic podcast as always Nico, opened my eyes in a lot of topics, thank you.

I watch F1 since I was a kid and it has always been my dream to be a part of it and being that it is not possible I still want to see as much as I can and kind off fill my passion for f1 that way.

[@Mr.Wednesday.]

People unfairly dislike Toto, I was one of them until recently when I heard him speak about mental health, he really seems like a genuine guy. I guess it’s hard to relate to the elite, he’s good looking, super intelligent obviously, extremely wealthy, supremely successful in motorsport and he has legit charm (no homo)… plus he sounds like a terminator. Only 2 reasons not to like him, 1: ignorance, judging what you don’t know (like I did) 2: jealousy/envy and coveting. Ode I guess there’s a 3rd option: you’re either a Red Bull or Ferrari fanboy.

I was awestruck and thought that the answer is to get rid of the fear because tough people (as clearly seen in F1) are just so competent and dont even know what fear is (from engineers, to drivers and team principals).

I’ve never listened to a podcast for more than 10 minutes. I’ve never liked Toto Wolff being a Ferrari fan. This was probably the most inspirational hour of my life, absolutely glued to the screen. Excellent job to both and best regards to Toto, what a man! Thank you so much.

[@ksswaroop090]

Nico I have been a Mercedes fan ever since the new hybrid era, with you and Lewis battling it out race after race. But these podcasts are great. Don't ever be discouraged to be making more of them, I am sure you are helping a lot more people than you can imagine. Keep them coming. And also a huge respect for toto wolf for being so grounded, even after winning 5 world championship.

[@EpicKoalaGuy]

Brilliant episode, love hearing from Toto!

[@davidkenarsari3445]

This is a great podcast. Toto is such a decent human being and a great inspirational leader. It's no surprise how successful he and his team have been!

[@1983banana1983]

When Nico say's Max is a narcist you see Toto thinking "Nico, I am still trying to sign Max for my team, be quit!" :D

[@joannaxuan4265]

Nico once said on WTF1 that he would pick Lewis and Max for a team... then paused and realized it was too catastrophic 😂

[@emartinezr]

Hahahahah

[@corith4535]

@@joannaxuan4265 Oh man, especially these days you could tell that would be a volatile team.

[@Josh-oj6jx]

max wouldnt suit the professionalism thst surrounds the Mercedes Formula 1 Organization even though he may be a good driver presentation and portrayal is very important too.

[@Drenwickification]

Josh Kuri mate you have Hamilton going around the paddock on a scooter wearing pyjamas. I think max is professional enough for them. I guarantee if any team at all could get max they would. He’s easily the best driver after lewis imo, but lewis will be retiring relatively soon. Max probably has 10-15 good years still

[@TheTaskiin]

Toto is a great leader. I can tell that because he expects his colleagues to make mistakes and own up those mistakes and fix them and still not get fired for that mistakes. Not many bosses are not that. My ex-boss fired me because I made a mistake and he fired me from that project. Till today I could not get out from that fear of failure. I am still looking for an answer to heal myself from that difficult situation. Thanks Nico, nice podcast.

[@sleep_less5551]

I could never relate with Mercedes and always thought Toto Wolff is very arrogant and found him off putting but he was nothing like I've expected. He's very inspiring person, not just because of his success but also his ability of analysing and understanding himself and other people. Thank you for this great interview.

[@Clipper_EBS]

Hey Nico, you have our respect here in Brazil. Great driver, amazing person!

[@gustavoheitichferrazza115]

That is not a regular podcast. Is a open book of inspirancion and knowlegde. Great jobe Nico!

[@seanthompson258]

and yes admitting that you made a mistake is very powerful! thanks guys great interview!

[@Ashton870]

Can't believe I took so long to discover this. Thank you Herr Rosberg and Herr Wolff for speaking so clearly and honestly (auf Englisch!) about mental health struggles, strategies for self help, and the need to seek help outside yourself when the pain threshold has been exceeded. Bravo.

[@manelcosta4983]

The most interrething interview i ever seen. This is the side I like, personal and free. Great again Nico. Continue with this kind of postcast.

[@TheGroundedPsychic]

Ahh Nico, I only just discovered your podcast, damn! Love it. Am going to catch up with all those I have missed. I was just getting misty-eyed, thinking back to the 6 o'clock car radio news that announced you had retired... and I flew, plastic shopping bag splitting, spilling the contents all over the place, into the house, yelling, "have you heard about Nico Rosberg????" My partner turned, fearful expression on his face, almost whispering "NO!" (he thought you must have died, given my dramatic entrance). "He's RETIRED," I howled. "WHATTTT? You're kidding???" We read and listened to every word mentioned on the subject, for months, in awe. This is brilliant, what you are doing... thank you.

[@nataliabugnacka4926]

nico has a talent for bringing out the most interesting perspective in his interviewees

[@samraatdash8236]

Toto Wolff, starting from his name and then to his world dominance personality trait, has the making of the next Bond villain.

[@jamesmiddleton8335]

that point about people just sitting and thinking anymore is so powerful. I have a friend who has depression absolutely terrible, and I was talking to her about it and it dawned on me that she didn't know what was wrong and that was what she was struggling with, so I just asked her: "when was the last time you just sat and thought" and she said years. Personally, I sit and think all of the time, I have this massive window in front of my desk so when I'm really meant to be working I sit looking out and thinking, that thinking time is seriously what you need to not just do the same thing day in and day out, people say years disappear, and that's because you don't really live anything until you've sat and thought about it. People will do the same thing day in and day out and they feel the hit of failure when they realise but they run from that and they force themselves to not think about it, if you force yourself to think the whole way through, realise your failures, that is when you can build your plan.

[@maltaussie]

Just coming to this and I must admit it was a fantastic interview. It's so great to get a view of Toto outside of the track and as such a successful businessman and family man.

[@markushammer2145]

Honestly, this interview was the most inspiring one I‘ve ever listened to! Nico and Toto, both of you are really outstanding personalities!

[@akj1919]

This was really awesome and inspiring. Let's get Mr Horner on next!

[@Elikem2982]

What a great piece of an inspirational interview, i've been all the time facinated by Toto's personality and success in life. thanks Nico!

[@bevanmay9722]

I am a business man who has achieved success, but the more I learn about Toto, the more I find myself inspired and impressed by him. His emotional intelligence seems truly stellar and I have so many ways I can improve in how I approach the world. Plus, I think your channel is fantastic Nico! Great content.

[@StephenBeale]

I only learned about Toto Wolff through the Netflix F1 series but this is brilliant. Well done. Truly inspirational.

[@antonroux6737]

Toto sounds like a brilliant and reasonable man! I wish him so much success!

[@brindlebucker4741]

Wow!!! What an amazing interview this was! Seriously, this should get an award. Seldom do you see someone open up the way Toto did.

[@bde21]

thank you Nico for this incredible podcast!...first thing I tip my hat off to you for conducting great interviews, you truly have a talent for this! second.. I noticed you also have alot in common with Toto, its quite festinating to see both of you from two complete different backgrounds yet such similarities in terms of you values, way of thinking and how you both view life... truly natural leaders. I really enjoyed listening to both of you, not only inspirational, but also learned so much about myself and the changes I must make in my own life! thanks again!!!

[@NazarNovak]

As a new fan of F1 - wow Thank you so much Nico for making this possible and for having this podcast, and thank you Toto for participating I could not imagine the depth of self-reflection and conversation this podcast wound bring, and I'm so happy how great the talk just flows, and how much experience and thought process I can learn and reflect on from your talk, it's amazing! I definitely took a lot of reflections and values from both of you, and I'm very happy you made it accessible to us, and I never realized how much depth there are to both of your characters and to Formula 1 in general, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this podcast and it taught me a lot, and I will definitely rewatch this a few times later on, you guys are legends in all senses of that word

[@derektassie1479]

Toto is a class act. Thanks for this interview about him as a person.

[@tommynikon2283]

Nico.....you're learning, adapting, and like driving.,..getting BETTER! As in....your interview skills. In the beginning, it was constant interruptions, instead of letting your guests speak fully, completely. NOW....you've learned to let the guests lead....and following up with some thoughtful comments on your own behalf. THAT makes your podcast worth watching and listening to. KUDOS for your own metamorphosis. Love your stuff bro; Keep it up. ps: I think I need another video on that sick motorcycle you have. SO jealous!

[@NicoRosberg]

Tommy Nikon I have a question. I‘m looking for a more meaningful name for my podcast. my reference is the podcast name school of greatness. in essence what i want to do is always extract as many learnings as possible from these incredible people. beginning with sports and one day even someone like the dalai lama. can you think of any cool names? like finding excellence or tea with outliers, breakthrough academy
