Toto Wolff‘s legacy in Formula 1 is going to be one that’s hard to forget. Along with 7x champion Lewis Hamilton, the Austrian went on to create one of the most feared and dominant dynasties the sport has ever seen. It’s no secret that the success Wolff has achieved at the helm of Mercedes is not a stroke of luck. The sustained dominance the Silver Arrows were able to strike every year since the advent of the turbo-hybrid era is a testament to the fraternity Wolff imbibed into the Brackley-based team. On many occasions, he has reiterated the fact that the Mercedes F1 program is not a mere team, it’s a family. But when Wolff is not around Lewis Hamilton & Co., his on-track family, he spends some quality time with his ‘other’ family. But who exactly are they?

The ethos that Wolff has been able to inculcate into Mercedes has led them to glory and beyond. That being said, the family values he has instilled in the team are deeply rooted in his own personal life as well. Undoubtedly, the ‘Wolff Pack’ is one happy family.

To begin with, Wolff has always been someone who has kept his private life closely guarded. A testament to this is the fact that details and knowledge about his relationship before he met his wife Susie Wolff are virtually none.

The only thing we know is that Toto’s ex-wife is named Stephanie and the two of them have a son together, Benedict and a daughter, Rosa. Even though that’s all that there’s to know about Wolff’s previous relationship, back in 2017, he opened up about his ‘tough’ divorce.

Express UK quoted the Austrian as saying, “I am in the very lucky situation that we are a true ‘patchwork family’. Susie is the centre of pulling that all together – and my former wife Stephanie. Both put the wellbeing of the kids above their own. I’ve been together with Susie now for eight years and my kids have always been a very important part of that relationship.”

“And Stephanie, the mum of my kids, handled it in the same way. Now we spend Christmas and holidays together. And as tough as a divorce is, we all grew.”

The central theme around Wolff’s sentiments reflected above are his kids. From his previous alliance with Stephanie to his long-term partner and wife Susie, here’s everything you need to know about Toto Wolff’s children.

Who are the children of Toto Wolff?

The Silver Arrows’ chief has been lucky enough to have a strong support system in the shape of his wife Susie Wolff and his children. Though Wolff has two kids from his previous marriage, Benedict and Rosa, in 2017, the ‘Wolff Pack’ admitted its newest member, Jack Wolff!

Wolff’s youngest son, Jack was born on the 10th of April, 2017. And as it turns out, baby Wolff instantly showcased his parents’ genes. Both Toto and Susie are car and motorsport enthusiasts, and their son is keen to follow their paths. What’s more? It would appear that the 5-year-old is also a massive Lewis Hamilton fan! Susie took to her Instagram to post a picture of Jack captioned, “Dress like your favorite character at school. There was no stopping Jack Wolff…”

On the other hand, his son, Benedict has a completely different plan for his life. In an interview with UBS, Wolff revealed, “My son, Benedict, is 16 years old and wants to be a doctor,” but the racing genes are hard to get rid of!

He continued, “But last year I found out that, to my complete surprise, he was the communications manager for a Formula One schools team that races 30cm long cars with gas jets and that his team had qualified for the World Finals in Austin Texas. He had decided not to tell me about it, because it was nothing to do with me.”

This shouldn’t come as a surprise given Benedict’s visits to his dad’s ‘office’.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much information around about his daughter, Rosa. But safe to say, she must’ve picked some affinity towards motorsport, too.
