How motorsport's most prominent power couple found joint success

The Wolffs have carved their own paths in motorsport, leading their respective teams to success in Formula 1 and Formula E. But the two came together last month as their drivers finished first and second in the FE drivers' championship - a feat they are hugely proud of. In a rare joint interview, they reflect on a remarkable season

They are the most influential and highest-profile couple in the recent history of racing. But while Mercedes motorsport boss Toto and Venturi Racing team principal Susie are often in the headlines after speaking to the press individually during a race weekend, seldom do they sit down and give a joint interview.

It takes a special achievement, and indeed a brief holiday. Just such an occasion arrived as they reflected on the personal accomplishment secured in Berlin last month when drivers Nyck de Vries (Mercedes) and Edoardo Mortara (Venturi) finished first and second in the Formula E drivers' championship. Among two well-celebrated careers, its a management feat both are massively proud of.
