Toto explains how her marriage to Susie has affected her career

While many expect Susie to reap endless benefits from her marriage to the team principal of the masterful Mercedes F1 team, Toto revealed how she actually had to deal with many obstacles in her career due to her marriage.

He said, “What makes me a little sad is that I am aware that I am doing more harm than good in the career she built long before she knew me. I often hear her described as “Toto Wolff’s wife,” which is basically unfair.

“There are advertising contracts that she cannot conclude because of me and the conflict of interest.

“Through me, she made many professional compromises and still has them,” Wolff concluded.

Susie is now helping her Rokit Venturi Racing team to achieve maximum points in the championship. As things stand, the team is eighth overall with 89 points.
