The Mercedes team boss is experiencing one of the toughest title defenses of his F1 career. While their dominance in the sport has been incredible for the past seven years, this year they don’t look quite like they do on the team. As Red Bull poses a greater threat to defending his title than in recent years, the Austrian has to motivate his team to stay on the hunt for the eighth world title in a row.

While he’s facing a tough season in the paddock, he’s taken the time to look after his car collection off-track. The Austrian owns a few cars that the world would envy. Wolff will sell some of these cars through Tom Hartley Junior of Great Britain, who is an expert in supercar sales.

The Brit recently shared a post outlining the cars Wolff sells. In his post, Hartley outlined the Austrian’s busy schedule no longer allowing him to drive those cars, while raking in a hilarious line for owning Ferrari cars.

Wolff sells a Ferrari Enzo that has run just over 2,000 km, along with a LaFerrari Aperta, which he claims is as good as new, according to the Briton. Wolff also bought the Ferrari Enzo from Hartley Junior himself in 2014.

In addition, the aforementioned Brit Wolff was one of the four development drivers for the Black Series, which shows how much the Austrian is attached to this car.

Although Hartley Junior has not yet announced the price of these cars, they can be expected to cost a considerable amount in the millions.
