Why Trophies Always Beat Profits | Sir Ben Ainslie and Toto Wolff

Toto Wolff came to Formula One after a hugely successful career in finance. Which one is more rewarding for the Team Principal and CEO of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 team? There’s no contest. Lifting trophies beats profits every day of the week. Sir Ben Ainslie, four-time Olympic gold medallist and America's Cup skipper, has had a very different career path in elite sport but now also finds himself with a foot in both camps. In part two of this special episode of Performance People with the Inside Tack podcast, Toto and Ben discuss the different challenges involved in business and sport, including how a competitive sporting mindset can be very useful in decision-making. They also reveal how winning is always great, but it’s winning after periods of adversity and criticism that are the sweetest victories of all.

Interesting talk, and it's obvious that you are all friends. Single-minded but highly aware of all the staff, that's what I get from Toto. Ben is also like that now, not so much in his younger days, but sailing in single boats, Ben didn't need that 😊
