The Austrian international lately shared the most exciting quality of his partner in Apple’s F1 Nation podcast with Damon Hill. As the topic of the post-season holiday came up, Susie Wolff and Toto Wolff decided to give fans some insights into their lives.
During the conversation, the Silver Arrows supremo shared, “When we met each other 13 years ago, 14 years ago, I said to myself I need to go for that one because she’s the only one who can understand what I do.”
“You know, and she drives cars faster than I, [Me] and that’s so sexy. That’s a real USP.”
Toto and his second wife Susie Wolff got married in 2011. This was several years after the two met each other, at a Capri wedding. They have a son together named Jack Wolff, whom the Oban-born former Motorsport driver gave birth to after six years of marriage.

Wolff claimed that her wife was so good that she was a few tenths away from making an appearance in F1 qualifying or race. Talking to The Financial Times, the 50-year-old conveyed, “She was within a few tenths of Felipe Massa.”
When asked about the opportunity, the Silver Arrows boss further asserted, “The final chance was denied. [Williams] never dared to make that call.”
Selecting Susie Wolff over Felipe Massa, who was having his 12th full season in F1, probably made little sense to the British team back then.
