Would the lady be near a Williams if it wasn't for Toto?
Maybe to be fair. She's far better a driver than the Marussia test driver (Villota) that crashed in a test and subsequently died from injuries sustained. Susie is not a Vicky Butler Henderson. She can peddle. Though with respect, she's not WDC material. But then that's not down to her sex as much as the fact 99% of F1 drivers aren't

This, but they do say, It's not what you know, but who you know, that counts.

OP,
You really need to take interest in more than F1 racing. You'll be asking who Wolfgang Urlich is next.
Do you mean Dr Wolfgang Ullrich? If it hadn't been me, somebody was going to comment - sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

You're not the only one mate: I even have the album (!), which you need a "record player" to play. I do hope our younger freinds know this technology, otherwise they can look it up, or ask their grandfather biglaugh

Back to the OP. I've been aware of TW in F1 for the last few years but he did seem to come out of nowhere. It seems he's some kind of financial (tech) investor (from money?) who enjoys motors sports and manages to do so (mysteriously) successfully. TW and SW seem like nice people. Not sure if SW has what it takes to make it in F1.

Damn indeed: I was trying to pretend I didn't get it, but to no avail.
I got it I'm afraid....far too old frown
I'm only 26 and got it, so there is hope for some of you, wink Or perhaps less hope for me, depending how you look at it!

So did we fully conclude exactly who is Toto Wolf? Other than the fact he's Suzie S's husband?

Yeah there's no real info on Toto but his rise has been rapid and successful. As I stated he's on a pretty good trajectory to take over from the white haired one who I'm pretty sure has made a deal with the devil to stay alive for another decade or two anyhow (devil gets tv rights to Southern Hemisphere only but I'm pretty Bernie will have outsmarted him in the small print).
We shall see...

He must be a famous German celebrity or something as he was walking the grid with Niki Lauda in Australia all decked out in Mercedes F1 merchandise.

Come on OP do keep up!!! smile You may have drifted off during Vettel's dull drives but you must have heard Ross Brawn is no longer in F1? Wolf was fairly involved during that.

I am making an assumption you've heard of Ross.... Could be a mistake winkbiggrin

Ross on Wye?? Are they looking to host a grand prix as well? What would the Hill brothers (Graham, Damon, Phil) have said??

Ohhhh dear, the good old apostrophe catastrophe.
Indeed. That's why I included the proviso about being a greengrocer.smile

(Apologies to all members of that noble profession: I was trying to be be amusing rather than greengrocerist.)
What is wrong with the apostrophe? Whose years are they?

I suppose the only issue is whether there is one donkey or many donkeys...

I feel my biting wit has got out of hand here.smile

The apostrophe in I chatted to her donkey's years ago is spot on. But my 'joke' was that somebody who used apostrophes for plurals would interpret the statement as 'Some years ago I was chatting to her donkeys'.

Hang on a minute, I think a whoosh parrot might be heading in my direction now.biggrin
