Toto Wolff on his son being George‘s biggest fan | post-race | Monaco GP 2026
Peter Hardenacke: Now that I see him over there: [your son] Jack is also a big motorsport fan. I‘ve read that he‘s a fan of Fernando Alonso. Could that change now? Could he switch sides & start liking Kimi Antonelli?
Toto Wolff: No, I just hadn‘t briefed him when he said that Fernando is his favorite driver. Now his favourite driver is George! Because he organised for him to get many pokémon… uh I mean Topps [driver] cards signed. So now it‘s George
Timo Glock: He got to all drivers, in front of the paddock? He got all autographs?
Toto Wolff: Yeah! George took him by the hand and said every card we haven‘t gotten signed yet, we‘ll get now! So now George is the absolute greatest to him.
The sun shimmered on the Monaco harbor, the water reflecting a thousand tiny diamonds. The Mercedes F1 social media team was out capturing lighthearted content before the weekend chaos hit, and today’s gem was Toto Wolff — confidently manning the helm of a sleek boat, sunglasses on, his hair pushed back by the breeze.
Y/n lounged at the side in a breezy sundress, one leg casually draped over the bench, and Jack sat between them, clutching a toy steering wheel like he was co-piloting. A GoPro was mounted nearby, catching everything for a TikTok the team promised would “break F1 TikTok.”
As Toto steered toward the marina, a smaller boat crossed awkwardly in front of them, almost as if it hadn’t noticed who it was about to cut off. Without missing a beat, Toto leaned forward, one hand on the wheel, and in his unmistakable Austrian accent called out:
“I come from the right!”
Y/n’s head snapped toward him, a slow grin spreading across her lips. “Mmm, do you now?” she teased, voice low, tilting her sunglasses down to meet his eyes. “Always coming from the right, is that how you like it, boss?”
Toto glanced sideways at her, one eyebrow raised, a flicker of something darker sparking in his eyes. “Darling, I’m good from any side,” he murmured, lips quirking.
Y/n raised an eyebrow, her lips twitching into a mischievous grin. “Mmhmm, remind me to test that later.”
Jack, completely oblivious, was still yelling, “Faster, Daddy! Let’s win the boat race!”
The social team, cackling behind their phones, knew instantly they had struck TikTok gold. They’d crop out the saucy part for public posting — but the raw footage? That might just become a prized bit of Brackley HQ lore.
When the video finally hit TikTok later that evening, captioned “Monaco traffic is awful this time of year”, the comments went feral.
Comments:
“The Austrian accent really hits different here 😭”
“Y/n’s laugh >>>”
“The way he says ‘I come from the right’ has me weak.”
“Someone check on Y/n, she’s living the dream 😂”
Comments:
“Toto saying ‘I come from the right’… why is that the hottest thing I’ve ever heard 😭🔥”
“Y/n better be careful or she’s about to be the Monaco GP’s main event.”
“The tension. The accent. The boat. I can’t.”
Y/n texted Susie a screenshot of the video, captioned “your husband’s a menace on water too.”
Susie’s reply came in seconds:
Susie: Just wait ‘til you see what he’s like in the shower after a win. 😉
Y/n was shocked but grinning. She didn’t expect this reply from Susie.
