• SUSIE WOLFF has received a significant endorsement from 1996 Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill for the role of FIA president, with Hill publicly backing her candidacy through social media. This marks a potentially groundbreaking moment for women’s leadership in motorsport’s highest governing body.
• The endorsement comes at a time when the FIA faces scrutiny over various governance issues, making WOLFF’s potential leadership role particularly significant. Her background in both competitive racing and motorsport management positions her as a candidate who understands the sport from multiple perspectives.
• If successful, WOLFF would become the first woman to lead the FIA as president, representing a historic shift in motorsport governance. Hill’s public support adds considerable weight to her candidacy and signals growing momentum for diverse leadership in Formula 1’s power structures.
