SUSIE WOLFF’s F1 Academy Gets Backing as Coulthard Predicts Female F1 Breakthrough

March 1, 2025

• Former F1 driver David Coulthard delivers an unequivocal reality check: a female F1 driver will happen “without question,” shutting down tired strength arguments with personal experience from his racing sister LYNSAY who “was fast, talented, won races” but never got equal family support to pursue professional racing like her brother did.
• SUSIE WOLFF’s F1 Academy gets the credit it deserves as the real game-changer here, providing that crucial Formula 4-level platform for women after the W Series collapsed in 2023 – because we can’t expect miracles without proper infrastructure and Coulthard knows this after investing his own money in women’s racing development.
• The numbers back up what we’ve been saying all along: women now make up 41% of F1’s fanbase with 16-24 year olds the fastest growing demographic, proving the audience is there and hungry for representation – now it’s just about lap times and opportunity, not outdated opinions about who belongs on track.
