– If you are not able to look at yourself in the mirror while brushing your teeth, in the evening and admit that I was a bit of an idiot today, to land on the surface of the earth, the judgment day will come eventually. I am one hundred percent sure, Wolff insurance programs.
– we often Hear success stories of people who are really ambitious and a big ego often equipped. They get very far, but the long-term success will grow slowly. It is the most important character traits.
Rosberg challenged as soon as Wolff by raising the formula one of the most talked about of the driver Max Verstappen , which is behavior on the basis of seeking to expand the circle of friends to the depot.
– If you look though Verstappen, so he answers narcissism definition in the dictionary. How can you not doubt yourself, if you make the same mistake six times and the seventh time you play still the same? But it works, because you are so talented. It turns into a huge success of the series. I’m not very convinced that you’re right, Rosberg said.

I Think, that Verstappen is different. His life is the part that we can’t see. It is the relationship of father Jos. He let his son direct feedback, I don’t think he’s holding back at all, an austrian background.
Wolff is confident that Verstappen behavior changes with time.
Max’s behavior is so self-confident that it affects sometimes even over-confident. Don’t forget that she is very young. I thought that a certain amount of super self-confidence to help you drive, but the older he becomes and the more he matures, he’s going to get it-side management.
