Speaking in an interview with , Wolff provided an insight into his difficult upbringing and how it helpedꦰ shape him into the person he is today. 

“I think the key𒉰 moment was the tragic loss of my father from brain cancer when I was 15,” Wolff said. 

“He was terminally ill for tenꦕ years, so basically all throughout my childhood. And the financial hardship was related to this. That had the biggest impact on me as a person. 

“My parents, with the help of my gran♕dfather, put me in the French private school in🌊 Vienna, which was advantageous for my career as it helped my language. 

“But the obstacle was that I went to school in an affluent environment without being a part of it. Day-to-day life was about my mother working hard as a doctor just to afford for us to stay at the school. She might have not been good at motherhood, but she kept𒅌 us alive; she kept us going.

“But it meant that certain🦹 things happened to me and my sister. I remember that we were taken out of class when I was 14 because the school fees were not paid, so we were sent home. How do you explain in the tram back home why you had to leave after lunchbreak? It was quite a humiliating experience.”

Wolff is now one of the most successful and powerful figures in F1, having led Mercedes to an unprecedented run of eight consecutive world championships’ between 2014 and 2021 and overseeing168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton win six of his seven drivers’ crowns.
