Toto Wolff opens up on what life without Lewis Hamilton will be like 👀🏎️ | Aus GP 🏁 | Fox Motorsport

[@brightenupcc]

This is one of the very best interviews with Toto. The journalist deserves plaudits for her execption work.

[@pato10111]

She's great. I've watched a few interviews she has done this week. She's very personable and friendly like a lot of Australians.

[@wjrenger67]

And incredibly knowledgeable! Toto is an old fox but she managed to surprise him few times

[@1vegasdood]

I agree...every question had substance and Toto is great on Netflix and these interviews. Very authentic.

[@09juliancarr]

Got to say Jess, that was a really good interview. You got Toto to really open up. He is quite an open individual, but it felt like you were not trying to 'catch him out', but an informed interview. Really excellent journalism.

[@razvansuta7122]

I normally do not leave comments, but this is by far the best interview done with an F1 leader. The interviewer did the homework, was respectful and genuine while being pointy with the questions. Hats off! We need her in F1 as lead journalist! And Wolff said it himself, clearly enjoying when there's homework behind and competence! A delight! We should launch a petition to bring her in F1. The only one that comes close is Brundle, Steiner nowadays 😄 and Will Buxton. Frankly I had enough of the "banalities" from other journalists in the pen or press conferences "How do you reflect on..?" Type of questions, who also just go with whatever the "drama" of the paddock questions, as opposed to staying true to motor racing questions!

[@MrPaddy1707]

Top class interview, this woman is excellent and an absolute credit to her profession. I forgot what a professional journalist looks like. Top class

[@Pedro285]

Cracking interview .. Toto was fully relaxed and candid. Nice work Jess.

[@bonzaralph]

What a great interviewer. One of, if not the best interviews I have seen in formula 1. Insightful, respectful intelligent questions that showed a good understanding of current issues in the context of historical achievements. This is how you get good answers and content. First rate.

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Yep!

[@stevecattoir6817]

Best Toto interview in a long time, so relaxt, top!

[@juliennguyen203]

Props to Toto for answering with a lot of transparency

[@jraybay]

Great interview. Jess is a natural. Super friendly and disarming in a way. Im sure it's frustrating for Toto but she got him to open up and smile a little. Hopefully Mercedes can turn it around. The W15 seems to be their most finicky car yet

[@fastman586]

This was actually a HUGE interview. Feels like we have a much better understanding of what Mercedes is looking for

[@EthanMaskie]

This was a brilliant interview to watch! So well spoken and brilliant questions

[@Obraxis]

Great interview! Toto being very open and honest too.

[@ghidoniandrea]

Respectful and knowledgeable. That's a great journalist here. One of the best interviews with Toto I have ever watched.

[@ant_ramos]

Just wow. Awesome interview. Fresh, quick, informative… great job!

[@YesImZane]

This was a very well done interview. Looked like Toto enjoyed it too. Great work!

[@olderthandirt7023]

Jess Yates has done some great interviews over the weekend.

[@luvyarora0712]

This is how interviews are done. Kudos to this journalist to keeping it simple. Sky sports -learn

[@paulnagle8970]

Best interview I have ever seen with Toto 👏

[@frankcarbone7642]

Jess Yates! I wish there were more interviewers like you that come prepared with interesting questions and engage their interviewee! Well done.

[@deveshrawool6035]

One of the best F1 interviews I have seen till date. Good job team.

[@H4rd5tyl3]

very interesting to see him be so open, this was a very respectfull interview from the reporter's side aswell. And at the end it was a bit of a love note to Max from Toto I feel to keep the possibility alive

[@StreetDreamzTT]

Great interview. Great questions. Hats off to toto for giving us such insights.

[@Herman-zc7te]

Fantastic interviewer! I loved every second of the questions and answers. No BS. No agenda

[@andrewhale3771]

Hands down the best interview i've seen with Toto for ................ well i can't remember how long. Who is this girl? Exceptional work Jess. When an interviewee says "Wow, you really know a lot about us", You can sit there and know that you are in that top 1% of journo's who go the extra mile to do their job properly. Entertaining and hugely informative. Sky Sports.........that's how you interview Toto Wolf!!!

[@TheColnago]

This man is a class act. About as down to earth and humble as it gets given his remarkable success. Chapeau, Toto.

[@moumouniadjana8152]

Very good interview

[@johnfitzgerald6953]

Jess Yates is a real pro. Straight to the point. Disarming. Penetrating. Efficient. Bravo.

[@tracer1127]

Nice to see him being interviewed by a new face to race fans. He looked relaxed with her and seemed pretty thorough with his answers. Plus a bonus she let the person being interviewed have the time to respond.

[@ravishankarmahadevan9098]

Great interview!! Rare for me to comment on KZbin but this interviewer did the HW :)

[@nickj1663]

Jess you are a star! Amazing interview. I think Toto was impressed with your research and knowledge and then knocked over by your charm.

[@marty2476]

An amazing interview Jess!!

[@ArsenalContent]

A journalist asking the questions we want to know. Clearly knows her stuff and had all the research done. Great interview

[@Paul-uq3dq]

Great interview one of the best I have seen

[@JMak4655]

A real interview. God it felt good to watch

[@ogurets13]

It was so weird to be conscious of how good the interview questions were. and then seeing all the comments saying exactly that! what a great interview

[@peterhallock9486]

Very enjoyable interview Toto thank you , best of luck on the next big thing. I'm 75 long-time fan of F 1.

[@urooz]

I cannot believe that Toto actually said that they will try to decide by summer! Tantalizing!

[@sonicstep]

They have to so as to avoid that chance of the fish getting away and snapped up.

[@michaelappel9421]

the more jetlagged Toto is, the more he sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger 😂

Great interview. Don’t know that I’ve seen Toto open up so much before.

[@rurikmckaiser543]

[@Capt.sierra]

Great interview Toto is the real thing, on top he is honest

[@philip5899]

Such an honest person, such honesty and integrity 👏👏👏

[@Redlingstein]

Who Toto? 😂 honest? Integrity? 😂😂😂😂

[@bjrnchrstn]

Hahaha yeah sure. Biggest political beast in the paddock, but keep fooling yourself with honesty and integrity. 😂😂

[@dannyboy-vtc5741]

On a level of frank williams and ron dennis, yeah honesty and integrity all the way lmfao!

[@manreay6769]

Great interview 👏

[@loganm2766]

Seems like Lewis left Mercedes at the perfect time

[@EthanMaskie]

Should left after '22

[@stunns2003]

Agree with both comments. The only decision better than leaving Mercedes in 24 is leaving them sooner.

[@Redlingstein]

Seems like LH will retire at Ferrari after being beaten by Charles

[@nocreo]

​@@Redlingstein Charles cant beat even Sainz, so how is he gonna beat Lewis?

[@nocreo]

​@@fredkite93303rd place in the championship last year, i dont think he's forgot how to drive fast

[@lindylewgutteridge809]

Red does suit Lewis Toto, you will miss Lewis, he is not only a fantastic f1 driver but a really lovely guy. 🇬🇧🏎🐐💜❤

[@jet305]

Really good interview. Thats showing those SkySports clowns how its done.

[@jamtalawah2231]

Who would have thought that asking pertinent questions, letting the interviewee give their answer - without been sneaky or constantly interrupting, would produce such a great interview? Such a pleasure to watch. Other interviewers please take note!!

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Skysports clowns? Agree!

[@jasonquayle7466]

I like Toto, speaks openly and honestly

[@mikaellofgren7]

Very good interview! Bravo

[@spud3746]

Jess Yates asks great questions! and very informed.

[@OldmanNix]

Nice interview

[@torgutm]

Very good interviewer. Impressive, intelligent questioning.

[@parichay28]

Killer interview 🤍

[@sterlinglewis]

Toto is honestly the best. I have a lot of respect for this man. Hopefully him and Lewis can unite under the same banner one last time before Lewis retires from the sport.

[@stegleryo]

Toto is relaxed because I think after all this time he’s at peace. It is Red Bulls era. Lewis is switching. The pressure to hold the number 1 spot is of course the goal but unrealistic to do forever. It’s Mercs time to rebuild. Him being very humble and open about where the team is at shows this in my eyes.

[@gvr6079]

So refreshing to see an interview not done by SkyF1. 😎

[@sofianet913]

Toto speeks sincerely and the the interviewer is great bring her to f1

[@2roamcom]

Its possible that Toto chose this interview and the questions ! However great interview and I think we now have a loit of answers ! :)

[@Six73c3bam1]

You think he chose his interview and the question? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah right!!

[@fjaeger]

I think It'd be interesting to see the Smooth Operator with the silver arrows.

[@MrBen2177]

A humbled Toto is a much better human being.

[@K1dPhresh1]

Good interview. Understatement.

[@daluzsoares]

What I wanted to know, the questions came out, well done girl!

[@Mobi666]

Wow, finally an interviewer who dares to ask the important questions! I have the F1 app and subscription for a few years now, but the interviewers on F1TV never ask the difficult questions it's sometimes embarassing! This lady whowever did a great job!

[@leonardsiragusa6675]

I watched this interview live. Plaudits to Jess! Toto was engaging and revealing because of your thorough preparation, the timely questions you asked, the respect you showed, and your passion for the sport. That then brings out the background knowledge you possess. Jess would be far better than any of the sky sports female so called journalists, Natalie Pinkham or Rachel Brooks.... Don't get me started on Naomi Schiff!!!!

[@Firemarioflower]

Indeed. Rachel Brooks' latest question to Perez after the Aus GP was downright disgusting. This lady is something else. I've also seen the Leclerc interview with Jess..... so awesome.

[@timibo971]

Interviewer drops her ego and allows toto to speak asking to the point short clear and concise questions and does so with a smile and without trying to trip him up with a trick question, clearly fantastic at her job.

[@brooksy2622]

It will certainly be good for LH. Yesterday he retired from the race in a lowly position. Whilst the car he will be driving next year, won the race. Another good and timely move. This team has lost all the genius minds that built the success in 2014 and have not replaced them with great quality for me.

[@Redlingstein]

Charles will beat LH 😂 Charles is imbedded in Ferrari, knows the car… LH willhave a difficult time at Ferrari… all strict protocols he isn’t used to, no strategy as Carlos is leaving, communicationwill be an issue. It will be fun to watch

[@Redlingstein]

2014-2020 was the engine…… not the best minds

[@richy69ify]

Lewis drove for 8 years with 55HP more than everyone else. Before that he had 1 title in 7 seasons in excellent cars.

[@pastorgains999]

[@kyleclark7449]

What an absolutely great guy. ❤

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Very good interview IMO. Only talk about F1 the sport, no dragged out poking Toto about the non-sport circus part👍

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Remember what Michael said about F1! Car 90 percent driver 10 percent!

[@chaosclg]

Perez in the red bull says otherwise

[@casdevries7634]

10 percent is crucial tho. 10 percent of a minute is 6 seconds. 🎉

[@Enzoblueblood]

Well, assuming the car doesn’t design and engineer itself, your 90% for the car has to be divided up to reflect the inputs of a whole lot of people. Shoot, even the tea and biscuits lady or guy gets a cut of that 90%. So 10% for the driver is not an insignificant share.

[@Peter-gc6sw]

And George?@@youtubian010

[@chyira8077]

But the fact is only maybe 20 drivers in F1 history can give you the "10 Precent" Example Perez is not one of them!

[@marknicol9405]

Not a toto fan, but this was a great interview.

[@wreagfe]

9:02 funny and interesting: he's effectively saying if Max wants to come, there's a seat for him at Mercedes. Sounds like Max's manager will have a field day negotiating his contract.

[@Redlingstein]

Max won’t go to Merc 😂Toto only wants to pretend it’s an option 😂😂😂

[@doicounttoo6861]

But he also said he can't offer him a winning car...yet. I think that is a realistic point of view.

[@_UnknownEntity]

Toto needs to keep in mind that going by the current situation and the past three years, it would be hard to hold hopes for the new format.

[@Mr.Mitch1111]

Look to dimensional changes due to thermal transfer or lack of.

[@JoeyBlogs007]

Change is inevitable and often for the better.

[@Boetbar]

All of a sudden Toto is speaking highly of Max 👀 a Wolf move

[@Redlingstein]

Its all an act. He wanted him in hospital at Silverstone.

[@Redlingstein]

Toto is despirate….

[@paultruesdale7680]

It’s business

[@tulip19710226]

@@Redlingstein No one wanted Max in the hospital in Silverstone .. Honestly get a grip.

[@doicounttoo6861]

Toto has been speaking highly of Max since the beginning. Even before. Of course there were some 'moments', but if anyone recognizes talent... And I am not even a fan of Toto ('s character).

[@BridgeGuitar]

I wonder if these teams keep their past cars around for the drivers to compare to under the same conditions? Though the regulations have changed is there nothing they could learn by a side by side comparison?

[@rodbrown8306]

After watching the Australian F1 I would think Sainz would be a strong option.

[@bazzer621]

I would think that Toto would be ecstatic! Now perhaps the team will be able to get better positions on the grid!

[@andymrkipling]

She's very, very good.

[@bjrnchrstn]

It’s simple, if max wants the seat it will be his. If not other options come into play.

[@lincolnflanagan810]

[@ryancuda45]

see what happens when you sign a contract with another team with a year left on the contract. all the teams do this they just leave you out of data and setup and the mechanics turn on you

[@adrian3355w]

It doesn't seem to be the case with Carlos... He is doing fantastic. I think Lewis checked out tbh

[@mypojam]

I read that the option to cancel the last year goes both ways. So it's a case of LH dumping Merc instead of Merc dumping him. Sad to see though how bad it's going for Lewis this season because of it.

[@mesh8349]

WHY on earth nobody’s ever talking about Frederik Vesti as a replacement for Lewis at Mercedes , but instead everyone is talking about Antonelli . Like , seriously, Fred almost won the F2 championship last year , won many races , he is a hard working Mercedes development driver , loyal to the brand itself. What else could he do to even get into conversation for that seat?

[@zackberry6729]

It’s not enough to just be a good F2 driver. You need to be near generation talent levels to be worth a top seat. Look at DeVris, Vandoorne, Zhou, Sargeant, etc.. Why would Mercedes waste time on a ‘good’ driver when they can wait for a ‘great’ driver

[@andreigiurginca1863]

@@zackberry6729 ok , so what’s the point of supporting a driver through all formula series , up until the nearest margin of the f2 crown , when you are going to wait for someone “great” . It doesn’t make any sense, especially in the case of Fredrik Vesti
