Wolff doubted he wanted to continue in F1: 'Mentally and physically tired'

Toto Wolff assumes he will be active in Formula 1 for some time to come. That this is not so obvious from an interview with the Associated Press, in which the Austrian looks back at a tipping point in his career.

Wolff is one of the most successful team principals in Formula 1. The Mercedes team boss won eight constructors' and seven drivers' titles between 2014 and 2021. A unique achievement that has not been matched before or since. Yet Wolff was not always sure he would remain as a team principal in F1.

After 2020, the turbulent 2021 season followed for Wolff, with the title fight between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. Wolff revealed that moving on also had to do with Hamilton missing out on that title. Wolff, Hamilton and Mercedes are keen to secure that eighth world title.
