A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Toto Wolff knows Max Verstappen and George Russell well. After the Canadian Grand Prix, the Austrian was asked to weigh in on the dynamics between the two drivers.
After Spain was there a conversation? Wolff explained to media present after the race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve: "These two guys sat in go-karts and racing cars for more than 10 years and have fought each other and have known each other off the track as well."

But how are the overall dynamics between Russell and Verstappen? Wolff responds tellingly: "I think they are very civilized when they see each other."

But when the lights go out, so too do the niceties, notes Wolff. "It's just on track, it's a fierce battle, different characters, different personalities and I don't think that is particularly different going into the first corner, whether there's Max aside or George aside, you just want to come out of it," said the Austrian.
