The world of adrenaline-pumping Formula One racing, where cars go at exhilarating speed, may seem like a polar opposite world from our day-to-day lives. However, some lessons off the racetracks can surprisingly be applicable in our regular lives.

In the midst of the buzzy Formula One season in Singapore, The Peak attended an exclusive roundtable discussion by Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team and hospitality group Marriott Bonvoy. The WeAreP1 discussion session saw panelists Toto Wolff, CEO and Team Principal of the Mercedes Formula One team, Chief Technical Officer James Allison, and Rajeev Menon, president of APAC Marriott International share their perspectives on high-performance cultures and how leaders can glean lessons from the race tracks.

Wolff also shared candid anecdotes of how the Mercedes Formula One team maintains a high performance lifestyle for the Grand Prix season during the panel discussion, which was attended by business leaders and members of the F1 fraternity.

Here are some key takeaways from Toto Wolff on adopting a F1 racing mentality in work and life.
