The atmosphere of open communication and teamwork at Mercedes is widely touted as the real key to their success. The hierarchy is entirely approachable, no one feels they have to hide or cover up their mistakes, no "theory X" draconian top-down heavy handed management, punishing or demoting individuals for their mistakes, etc. etc. One of the best, most open, truly "team" environments in motorsport, where two-way communication up and down the food chain is absolutely the order of the day, encouraged by one and all. Toto is, in large part, responsible for all of that. It's the team philosophy that he has built and continues to encourage. The entire motorsports world is touting this as the main reason for their success.
