Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard · Toto Wolff (team principal of Mercedes F1 team) · 4 Dec 2024 podcast

Yeah. But for context, he is the team principal and CEO of AMG Mercedes, which... Won eight Constructors Championships in a row, which has never happened. No one's ever come close to that. For Formula One. His accomplishment there will likely never be taken away from him. It's just an unparalleled success as a team principal and a CEO. He's as good as you could be at this job.

He is a part of a really interesting new book called Inside Mercedes F1, Life in the Fast Lane. by Matt Wyman. Great read if you're interested in the workings of that team, which are really fascinating. That's a great starter. Please enjoy Total Woof.

Feel free to use that pillow as well if you need it. This sucks. We're getting a new couch.

Okay, you're fine. Can I put the feet on? God, you're fucking gorgeous in person, Monica.

A bit taller than me. A tiny bit. But you're better trained. Listen, there's a lot of nerdy things I did today. I was going to wear bigger shoes. Oh, you were? Because I hoped to be as tall as him in the photo. And I even considered putting on my work boots. And I'm like, you can't cheat. What are you wearing? No, I'm wearing flats. Okay, good. You're on the floor too.

But yeah, that crossed my mind as you just saw. I opened one of my garage doors hoping you would be interested in my cars.

Oh, you are?

Okay. I don't know if you saw on the grid. Sorry, Monica, I'm going to wrap up the technical stuff here.

I'm about to defame Lewis.

Because Toto, he didn't give him. Lewis earned them. But he got seven championships under Toto's direction. That's right. You and I were working together for three years, and I bought you a C43 AMG.

That's much better than an MV Augusta.

And can I ask quickly, he has a new helmet every race, right?

Oh, he did?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, new goal in life. We're going to ride together at some point. We can, yeah. We can be far down the road when we're retired or something. Okay, let's start in Austria. First of all, we're both Capricorns. Even though I don't believe in astrology, I can feel your Capricorn. What is that? Very determined. My feelings are kind of secret. I can't show vulnerability.

I'm on schedule. I have to win. I'm going to beat myself up until I do. I'm managing everything.

Yeah. Does this sound familiar?

The world is a hostile place when you arrive. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Especially in Austria. Absolutely. Thinking about Detroit, Austria is more hostile. It depends if we're including homicides because I think Detroit has, yeah.

Now, I was shocked to learn this this morning that you're not Germanic. You're not Austrian. Your dad is Romanian and your mother is Polish. Yeah. And were they immigrants or had they grown up in Austria?

So it's like the opposite. We are not Jewish. Wearing lederhosen and blowing horns, really saying I'm Austrian.

Now, mom was a physician. What type? Like a family doctor? Anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologist? Yes. Oh, wonderful. She had all the drugs. Yeah, fantastic.
