Motorsport talk is forbidden on Christmas Day in the Wolff household

Some would have thought Toto Wolff would use the Christmas period to celebrate yet another successful year inside the Mercedes garage. But according to the boss himself, any motorsport related chat is "taboo" on Christmas Day.

In his latest interview, Wolff talks about how he's been relaxing since the final day of the season. In 2018, Mercedes were pushed by Ferrari more than ever before, so any time to relax and recover is important. However, he picked up an injury!

"I stayed in Abu Dhabi for a while after the last race and went swimming with my son. While swimming, I wanted to jump over a wave with him in my arms, and that was just a little different from what I had thought. I tore my cruciate ligament for the third time," Wolff looks back at the incident in the German Bild.

Despite the off-season, Wolff has been busy looking ahead to the future, just as all good champions do. With Ocon carless next year, he's keen to keep him involved and has the potential to bring in Mick Schumacher to the Mercedes junior team.

"Unfortunately, our junior program currently has limited space and I have another priority. To ensure that Esteban Ocon has a place on the grid in Formula 1 again in 2020," Wolff thinks.

Busy, busy and busy again for Wolff. You would almost forget that there are other things in life than work. And although Susie Wolff, the wife of Toto, is also active in motorsport, Wolff's house has one rule: During Christmas, it's all about the family, not about racing.
