.@MercedesAMGF1 is the leading F1 team and the best business in the sport. Toto Wolff is the only owner-principal. I was excited to sit him down and understand his business background, how they run engineering under the constantly-changing rules, his views on the industry, and how he's preparing for succession.

Congrats Fragment 🙌
Fragment is automating commerce.
We think there are millions of businesses that haven't been invented yet. Not because folks lack imagination, but because it's too hard to build the financial systems that run them. Fragment removes that constraint.
Today, people run companies. With Fragment, they'll run on their own.

Firstly, well done to our source in January for breaking the story.
Secondly, he wants to be the captain once VVD leaves.
Liverpool have stated they will consider the request at this stage.

Thinking about the number of dual national players who are going to choose African teams over the next four years and realizing that the 2030 World Cup is going to be absolutely incredible.
