    Nico about Toto: "You are standing on the pole of the peak of Everest, there's nowhere up..."
    Mercedes goes on with four 1-2 in the first four races, an all-time record. TOP!
    Overall, it's the most inspirational podcast I've ever listened to.

      I enjoy these interviews, especially the one with Flavio. Each a Masterclass. Through this portion of the interview was the most striking, where Nico you are buttering up Toto, even now in 2019. How can someone stand on flag pole, that too on Mount Everest. In a way it shows how tall Toto Wolf really is. Great Interview.

      I think for sure they’ll do something like that together at some point and probably laugh and look back with pride at their time together. Yeah they fought a lot but it’ll go down as one of the greatest teammate rivalries ever imo and they’ll both be glad with that. I think they’ll probably end up being mates again, I mean Schumacher used to hate coulthard but they both got on very well as they got older
      However I just don’t think lewis will do it before he retires. It’s kind of too awkward to do until then imo... especially that he’s still at merc and so might hold back on talking about things in detail

    21:50 "Support your kids in an opportunity THEY like. Follow THEM in their passion." Wow--so many parents should learn from Toto here. Chores, household tasks, school--yes, push the kid, that's discipline and teaching them how to be a good person. But when it comes to things that will really determine their life and what they'll love? Let the kid pick it.
    I was/am lucky to have parents who were of this mindset with me, but lots of kids aren't, and have parents who want them to pursue something that the kid his/herself would never want to do.

    Ever since the lockdown I watched “Drive to survive” on Netflix and being a Canadian I was never big into formula one and I’ve fallen absolutely head over heels for the sport and I really think a lot of it has to do with people like Toto. Watching the episode on him and Mercedes was so powerful and inspiring. The people in this sport are really what makes it unique to me.

      Don’t know how much you’ve dipped into the history of F1. But if you haven’t already, and since you’re already going to watch old races. I’d suggest some content on Gilles Villeneuve being that he was Canadian. One of the best drivers never to win a world championship, who then had a son who went on to win a world title. Some of Gilles’ old race replays are floating around RUclips and definitely worth watching. The guy had car control like I’ve never seen before.

      ​@@NicoRosberg , I also thought about "Pursuit of excellence". Because in an essence - these people , you including, do just that - they always find the extra bit. The outcome is that you can always learn something new, but you can also never be excellent because there always comes someone else that breaks the records - hence the pursuit bit. Excellence because these people do excel at what they do and it also combines the many areas in life where you can strive to be the best.

    I've seen it yesterday and still suffer from a jaw drop... One could expect that interview with Toto Wolff will be interesting, I thought maybe a bit on entreprenuership, some glimpse of behind the scenes, his view on recent state of F1, etc. but this is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, insightful, and goes way beyond typical discussion around F1 and sport.
    Nico, if you'll ever wake up and feel unsure if it makes sense to continue with the podcasts remember that your work brings massive value to people's lives.

I appreciate this so much, you and Toto are so inspirational. Toto has startet at the bottom and is now one of the most successful people around. And you started at the top with a father as a world champion, but not just sit there and live a luxurious life, no you challenge yourself and other people everyday und did everything what has to be done to be one of the best drivers of your era. And that's what you are, one of the very best!

  • @AOTanoos22
    @AOTanoos22 5 лет назад +56

    I think Toto is right in saying that high-performance individuals have experienced some form of a trauma or humiliation and im almost sure that Nico has experienced that too. It might be a subconscious thing and you might not realise it, but maybe one experience triggered your "hard working self-improving" characteristic wich ultimately made you become a F1 world champion. Maybe it was the pressure from your father being a world champion, he never put on you, but you put on your self, because you already knew in your childhood that he is expecting something big from you and therefore you where never satisfied with your self. Or maybe you have experienced uncomfortable situations in your carting career due to an opponent which you were not able to defeat and thus started working harder and harder on your self until you were accepting yourself when achieving what you set as a goal and thus developing a strong motivation in self-improving. This trauma or humiliation might be a "normal" experience for these individuals, until they reflect it with a psychologist and finally realise that indeed it played a much bigger role in their life than they initially thought and therefore is a subconscious trauma they were not aware of. This is why most good or bad traumas come up in the old age after a long time.
    A fantastic podcast as always Nico, opened my eyes in a lot of topics, thank you.

All the successful people have their different approaches for the different aspects of life, whether it's business, racing, management etc. So it is a mix of things, but in general there are some things you will surely notice in all of them. They believe they can do it very deeply. They always strive to find a way to solve numerous problems. They all think outside of the box, maybe a "Champion's cocktail podcast" is a good name for all of those different mixes of personalities that have one goal - be the best.

However as I have studied the characters and careers it is your performance both in the car and out that I find unchallenged. Of course, both Lewis and yourself are so talented in the car but your closely considered responses particularly immediately after races show such emotional intelligence. You are a very impressive young man and a great role model for teenage boys. As the Mum of two, I would like to thank you for who you are, your character and empathy and your work. Great podcast.

    People unfairly dislike Toto, I was one of them until recently when I heard him speak about mental health, he really seems like a genuine guy. I guess it’s hard to relate to the elite, he’s good looking, super intelligent obviously, extremely wealthy, supremely successful in motorsport and he has legit charm (no homo)… plus he sounds like a terminator. Only 2 reasons not to like him, 1: ignorance, judging what you don’t know (like I did) 2: jealousy/envy and coveting. Ode I guess there’s a 3rd option: you’re either a Red Bull or Ferrari fanboy.
