Williams team principal James Vowles has commented about how famous F1 luminaries such as Ross Brawn and Toto Wolff influenced his career.
Vowles took over as F1 team boss at Williams for the 2023 season, succeeding Jost Capito.
Vowles, the youngest F1 team principal on the grid, steered Williams to their highest constructors’ finish since 2017, finishing seventh.
Vowles spent the entirety of his career in Brackley with Mercedes (previously BAR, Honda, and Brawn GP).
During his stint in Formula One, Vowles worked alongside several outstanding names, including Brawn, Wolff, and Dave Richards.
Speaking on the Sky Sports F1 review show, Vowles shared what he had learned from the aforementioned trio.
“All of them in their own unique ways,” he said. “All three of them are very unique in their management, in their leadership styles.
“There’s much I could learn from all three during the years. With Toto, incredible business knowledge, and a really strong leader. He knows how to get the most out of everyone.
“With Ross, really good at getting the right people in the room to talk about the right subject areas, grew up within the sport from a different level all of the way up to the top.
“With Dave Richards, a different background but really strong leader. I always remember talks he would give, everybody would walk away completely aligned with it.
