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.

No tables were harmed in this interview 😁

As an Englishman, I would like to say a massive thank you to both of you for the effort required to provide this absolute Gem in English and not your home language, very much appreciated. ,

Toto is clearly one of the most charismatic person I've ever seen !

You get Lewis on this show then we got drama and discuss everything in detail that will be spicyyyyyy

Toto: “Everybody can win this year” Williams: *am I a JOKE to you*

"Every single thing you experience has already been experienced by a genius in the last 1000 years, who is able to write it down in a way for all of us to understand, and for all of us to learn and use it for ourselves" Damn, what a quote

Toto is the example of what a boss should be. A true leader, and a world class personality.

Ever since the lockdown I watched “Drive to survive” on Netflix and being a Canadian I was never big into formula one and I’ve fallen absolutely head over heels for the sport and I really think a lot of it has to do with people like Toto. 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!

Desk: “Nico please be careful with the questions!“

21:50 "Support your kids in an opportunity THEY like. Follow THEM in their passion." Wow--so many parents should learn from Toto here. Chores, household tasks, school--yes, push the kid, that's discipline and teaching them how to be a good person. 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.

I could listen to Toto Wolff all day, extremely full of wisdom and down to earth. What you need in a great leader and definitely a key to Merc's amazing dominance

Toto is a brilliant man. Wow, I've never really listened to him before, but my respect and admiration for him just shot through the roof. This was an inspirational video for sure, Nico.

Nico, it's Toto

Toto is the kind of guy who wakes up fully spooled up, doesn't toss and turn in the bed and check his phone. Eyes open, shower, and out of the door ....

I am amazed about the psychological depth on this discution.

Man, I'm Italian and, as everybody knows, we have so much passion for Ferrari and italian cars. Having said that, Toto Wolff to me has always represented the enemy, the man to fight and the one to beat, but I never really knew the man. Thanks to this VERY interesting podcast I completely changed my mind on him and I am sure I am going to see things in a very different way now on. Great great content Nico! Liked the video and subscribed. Keep on making this stuff man!

Nico, do the unthinkable, and make an interview featuring Kimi and Sebastian. Brilliant KZfaq channel, needless to say. Well done, champion.

Nico is an honest interviewer, he digs-in, especially even when the guest is trying to be evasive. Great interview.Well done.

Toto's kids dont know how lucky they are to have a father and role model like him in their life.

Please do a podcast with your father.

Well that was way more inspirational than expecting. Really enjoyed watching it, thanks for taking the time toto wolff, thanks for doing it nico rosberg

I have learned more listening to Toto Wolff in this podcast than any physiologist or counselor. A very brilliant man and I hope to meet him someday.

Someone like Toto is the type of person I expect to see as president or prime minister of a country. He's charismatic, confident, well educated and well spoken. He's a leader. We need more people like him in the world. More people like him trying to do good in the world atleast.

MY PODCAST IS BACK!!! Super inspirational episode with Toto. Do you agree?? New mega episodes coming soon! kzfaq.info

49:40 "I encouage people to put their feet on the table and stare out in the space rather than to stare into a screen and pretend to be working".... and here I am, watching and hearing this video at my office pretending to work... hahaha

I love the fact that Toto has the confidence as a leader, to surround himself with people who are willing to say no to him. Too many people I’ve met in the corporate world in leadership capacities do not have that capability at all, and the only people who succeed are enablers and yes people who manage upward and tell the senior people only what they want to hear - not the truth.

I missed this by a year but I must say, this is one interview no one should miss in their lifetime. Toto Wolff is a great leader who had humble beginnings. It actually inspires many people who come from such backgrounds. I could relate myself when he mentioned about his childhood trauma when he and his sister were asked to leave from school. Also his leadership style is fantastic, not being a tyranny but rather lead by example. Thank you for sharing this Toto and thank you Nico for bringing him into your podcast!

Nice work Nico!! I really like your podcasts

Nico, I've always liked how blunt and honest you are. Through your F1 career and until now in this podcast. Haha :)

I've seen it yesterday and still suffer from a jaw drop... One could expect that interview with Toto Wolff will be interesting, I thought maybe a bit on entreprenuership, some glimpse of behind the scenes, his view on recent state of F1, etc. but this is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, insightful, and goes way beyond typical discussion around F1 and sport. Nico, if you'll ever wake up and feel unsure if it makes sense to continue with the podcasts remember that your work brings massive value to people's lives.

Two German speaker, speaking English with a German accent is just a lot of Fun

I think most men should strive to be like Toto. A top tier man.

My family met toto at the Monza paddock gates, he took the time to take a picture with my son, (even though my son was wearing a red bull T-shirt) 😂 A truely kool picture of him and my son. Must thank him for taking the picture as it was very awkward for him while he was on the bike. Kool@totowolff...........

when two german speakers talk english geatings from Austria

Wow, my respect for Toto Wolff shot up a whole bunch watching this. So important to see these super successful people admit to their own fallibility and insecurities and be advocates for mental health support. I wonder what his view is on having such discussions with your team and drivers directly. At the bottom of the line, there is still an employer/employee situation. How much do you share of your struggles before it becomes a disadvantage..

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.

Wow, two super candid human beings sharing life experiences and life lessons. A must for the Formula 1 bible. Well done Nico and respect for you and Toto.

This is a really important interview. The themes they talk about are fundamental to anyone who seeks success.

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.

these podcasts are an absolute treasure trove into the minds of extremely talented/capable individuals whom are also highly looked up to by many. This was defiantly something that was really needed especially for fans of F1, and those who dream of it a true insight into the world of one of the most competitive and unforgiving sports and the minds who make it work.

This is truly a brilliant podcast Nico. First time I have seen Wolff really be sincere and open up. You have great interviewing technique and allow the person to speak without hogging the mic yourself. I too find Toto very inspiring and look up to him. Knowing now how his childhood was so challenging makes me like him even more. Your podcasts are better than paid tv subscriptions or any network junk that gets on tv. Keep up the great work Nico. 5 star work.

This podcast episode is so deep and so much broader than about F1. Loving the insights about trauma/humiliation as the fuel for high performance individuals. Thank you Toto and Nico.

I enjoy how Nico doesn't just agree to keep things flowing along. He always pushes back when he doesn't agree, which sounds simple, but is often not what we see in podcasts. Great interviewer indeed.

He sound a little like Arnold...get to the chopaaaaaa!!!

Excellent talk Nico 👏👏👏👍👍👍. Very interesting interview with a person in command of the most successful F1 team.

Nico, I really enjoyed this episode. I like how your interviews are so candid. It'd be amazing if you got Kimi on the show and got him talking.

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!

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

Probably one of the most interesting interview I've ever seen for years. Really great to see another aspect of Toto, how he built himself and became who he is today.

This conversation was wonderful and filled with so many beautiful insights! I have a renewed respect for Toto Wolff now. Thank you Nico!

Thank you Nico. Thank you that you have made this podcast possible. I am a big Mercedes Fan from Germany, not far away from Wiesbaden (near Frankfurt). I appreciate this so much, you and Toto are so inspirational. Toto has startet at the bottom and is now one of the most successful people around. And you started at the top with a father as a world champion, but not just sit there and live a luxurious life, no you challenge yourself and other people everyday und did everything what has to be done to be one of the best drivers of your era. And that's what you are, one of the very best! So inspirational!!

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

Nico. Thank you so much for taking the time to sit down with Toto and recording this podcast. I was listening on Spotify and had to come over to write this comment. This is easily the most inspiring hour of listening I’ve ever heard. Toto is just such an incredible person and I learned so much from the both of you during this time. Thank you!

Terrific interview, the mutual respect in the room made this more insightful than any other interview I have seen with Toto. Nico knew the questions he could ask and was respectful enough to let Toto answer in his own way and own time. Really good.

You guys cover so so much in this one interview: childhood trauma, rising from adversity, relationships, mental health and strength. Absolutely love this. Thank you both for being so candid and inspirational. This will be used or passed on to anyone else teaching leadership, mental health or business studies 😎🏁

This is the first of your podcasts that I’ve watched, if the rest are even halfway as good as this one they will be brilliant. Your relationship with Toto is clearly one of respect and understand. Thank you for the insight into you both.

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!!!

Nico I recently started following F1, and fell into the F1 KZfaq rabbit hole, and eventually came across your podcast. I've seen a couple of episodes now, and my respect for you has gone up exponentially; you're doing great work, and your path is really inspiring! Thank you and keep it up

Hi Nico, Thankyou for sharing this interview. I love the dynamics between you and Toto. It has been a real insight into understanding success, failures, psychology, mental health and many more. But what really stood out was how you were both open about your vulnerability and short comings. I would love to see you both together again. It is been truly motivating, inspiring and also educational. I've taken so much out of this interview. Thankyou and keep up the hard work.

Thanks for doing this in English! Miss seeing you in F1, but so proud you could walk away on your terms!

@Nico Rosberg: That was a great podcast! I’ve always been a fan of yours and Toto and to hear the challenges and learnings you took out of this great sport which can be applied to any high pressure-high performance field (one of which I’m a part now) is truly inspiring. Thank you sir!

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

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.

Much respect, men. Two of my favorite people, who I have yet to meet, talking about what really matters in life. Dreams, goal-setting, responsibility, values, hard work, morals, ethics, teamwork, commitment, luck, family, health, competition, knowledge, and more. Honest, engaging and compelling.

Just seen this after watching the DR interview. Loved it. Brilliant interview Nico. Both Toto and Yourself are very inspirational with your honesty and openness about life, struggle, perspectives, and how we're all so different.

This was pure gold. So important insight in successful people mindset and problems they cope with. Its nice to see how humble you both are. Thanks for showing us the other side of the medal.

Thanks for this! I listened while coding and this chill and relaxed conversation helped me keep focused and relaxed while getting insightful information and tips for life, this was my favorite episode until now.

You are starting to take this to a whole other level. Awesome job, you two guys are a huge example of ambition and eagerness to learn

Nico I think this is your best interview yet! Fascinating interview and love the conversation around mental health! Thank you for putting this together 👍

Stuck indoors, during covid19 lockdown, only watched out of curiosity, ended up watching the whole hour and ten minutes . One of the best interviews I have ever seen. So many points hit home, self esteem, direction, enjoying what you do, taking care of the family unit. Making me refocus on the future and what I want to be doing and taking a few risks to get there. Thanks

What a wonderful discussion. I can honestly say it touched my heart. Both of you are fantastic human beings. Also been going through huge transformations in my psyche, my being, and its been very challenging. Great to have such inspiration

incredible work Nico, I used to not like Toto, up until today, the fact that you brought him up for this and we got to see Toto as a human and not a winning machine really grounds things down and shows a bigger picture, what a great guy he is and how great it is of you to show us this. 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. I really appreciate the work you are doing to show us what that world is like. Cheers Nico!

Inspiring, informative and I felt, total honesty from both of you.

Great job Nico! That’s so so valuable interview, very mature questions from your site and without simple answers from Toto. Thank you for that. Keep doing the staff the way you do!!!

Another fantastic interview, so interesting. Learnt so much from both of you. A great insight into who Toto Wolff is and what drives him. Goes down in history for all the right reasons. I love his passion. I love his openess. I love his team ethics. I love his passion for putting family first. His wife is a very lucky lady. With every interview we see more of who Nico is too, and understand you better. Inspirational. Thank you, and thank you for talking openely and honestly about mental health issues. The majority of us experience hurdles and demons throughout life. Good to hear how you and Toto deal with yours that you experience. We all share the same emotions in different scenarios and environments. Coping mechanisms are so important. So is a close, loyal and supportive circle.

Can we get a Toto part two?! One of most inspirational videos I’ve seen. So great to see him open up and learned so much about him.

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.

Nico, Thank you for this interview. There were so many bits, and voices of mature wisdom that I was not expecting in the first place, Toto's perspective is great, and I listened to every second of this!

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

Thank you Nico. As a 56 years old new to the sport of F!, I have enjoyed becoming familiar with all the characters involved. As an Australian of course Danial is a favourite but so many are now gaining my respect with impressive skills and talent. However as I have studied the characters and careers it is your performance both in the car and out that I find unchallenged. Of course, both Lewis and yourself are so talented in the car but your closely considered responses particularly immediately after races show such emotional intelligence. You are a very impressive young man and a great role model for teenage boys. As the Mum of two, I would like to thank you for who you are, your character and empathy and your work. Great podcast.

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

This is great!! I was/am a HUGE fan of F1 when you, Nico, won your World Championship and this is a fun interview to see the interactions between you and Toto. Thank you for this and having just found you on KZfaq, I can't wait to see more episodes. You've got a real knack for this and I appreciate your openness and honesty. Well done!

@Nico Rosberg. Just found your podcast by accident today, and like some of your listeners, I had never listened to one before, let alone one for over an hour. But what an hour that was. Thank you and Toto for such an honest open discussion. It's so refreshing to hear celebraties not promoting a new book, film, etc... Leaders like Toto are so very rare.

I enjoy the style you have for your videos and podcasts. Appreciate the insight you bring to the interviews.

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!

Simply encaptivated - even 4yrs later, still. Brilliant. Two of my favs in F1. 👏🏿

Such an inspirational person Toto is, one of the best podcasts I've watched

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.

wow wonderful content, great great video, great conversation, keep it that way!! I've just watched this for 1h!! no waste of time at all. Thank you so much Nico!

I'm very new to formula one this past year and not only have I been no stop watching races from the past decade but I've been watching and learning so much about the people behind all of it and it's so great to learn about all these little details and learn about what it takes to achieve your goals wether its on or off the track.

Love this podcast series Nico! Big F1 fan in general, but outside of that have gained a much deeper appreciation for you through these videos with your kind and informative style. Loving the work you've done post-F1!

Well done Nico, your podcasts are developing from strength to strength, and you are also touching on subjects most people would rather sweep under the carpet.

One of the most interesting Podcast i've ever heard! Two very inspiring persons and awesome questions. Very well done Nico :)

What a beautiful conversation. Two of the coolest and successful people I know talking about things they're still learning and things they struggle with. Very inspiring loved it. Nico brings a different perspective, a different dimension to the conversations with F1 persnalities and it's beautiful. One of the best podcasts i've listed to

@nico rosberg the insights one gets in the person you interview and also in you is tremendous. This is very inspiring, its easy to think that everyone has it easy and you are struggling to break the shackle whereas you have so many great examples to look up to. Brilliant work and keep continuing. Brilliant to say the least... You are topping your world championship for sure, this is beautiful work :)

Toto Wolff 2020: No one else can win this year.

Great interview, really touched on a lot of important topics and so interesting to hear both your takes on them

Amazing interview. Deep lessons here on leadership, self fulfillment, perseverence and succes. So fortunate that Mr. Wolff would be so honest. Excellent interview by a World Champion! So very much appreciatted!

Thanks guys for putting this together, very inspiring well done and thanks again.
