Toto Wolff criticised the attitude of Mercedes when he first walked into the building, saying he “couldn’t believe” they were a Formula 1 team.
Wolff, who had prior involvements with Williams, arrived at Mercedes in 2013 as managing partner before taking full responsibility of the Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Programme soon after.
The success they have achieved since then has been phenomenal, with seven consecutive World Championship titles, but things have changed a lot since he first walked through the door.
“When I walked in the first time into Mercedes, it wasn’t what I wanted it to be,” Wolff said on the High Performance podcast.
