He is genuinely the greatest team principal. People say that he is against Bottas but they don't know this but Toto is actually Valteri team manager and responsible for getting him in Williams in 2013 because he was share holder in Williams. You also maybe for respect didn't share this but Toto is actually divorced and has two boys from first marriage but due to toxic relationship he couldn't grew with them that's why he was considering retiring in 2020 to spend more time with growing jack Wolff. And you didn't even mention his first entrance in F1 in 2009 I believe with Williams.

Looking forward to watching them. Do be careful though if you are not a trained journalist, as many of these people are based in the UK where defamation laws are unpredictable and strict. The ultra rich can sometimes be offended by surprising things or a throwaway remark. Make sure you have good sources, be prepared to back down and grovel quickly, and consider taking a short law course specifically on defamation or law for journalists. Sadly this may tone down what you can say. But remember these people are rich and obsessive, and sometimes have crazy wives. Ooop, no the don't! They have balanced, wise and generally all round wonderful human beings as their partners, just like them! Nice children. And charming pets!!

That was a very good to watch and listen to. Toto is a driven force with principles, and it works, the people around him must respect him as a result of this. I do not think many people in business behave like that, they are to abrupt and short term thinkers. Well done Toto.

HP and National Semiconductor were upstarts originally, but certainly not during the time Wolf was in San Francisco. They were established players.
