As the driving force behind Formula One’s most successful team Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has reached the summit of success alongside star driver Lewis Hamilton. Embarking on a new season, Wolff also wants to throw his weight behind furthering discussions on mental health to help people suffering in sport and beyond. Wolff says “what I want to do is encourage people to seek help and not see it as a stigma, of being a dysfunctionality.” He says people in highly successful positions are unfairly portrayed as being above the difficulties affecting others. For it can often be quite the opposite.
