GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • SUSIE WOLFF admitted her single driving test fault was for speeding – because of course it was. The former Williams F1 test driver passed on her first attempt despite that minor transgression, though she confessed the pressure was real since failure would’ve been awkward for someone with “motorsport in her blood.”
  • Her racing journey started at eight years old in karting and crystallized into F1 dreams after attending a Formula 3 race at Donington Park at 13. WOLFF credits her parents for never differentiating between her and her older brother’s opportunities, saying she didn’t realize she was “picking something really unusual for a girl” – just chasing her ambition.
  • Now 42 and managing director of the all-female F1 Academy series, WOLFF has zero desire to return to racing herself. She’s become the role model she never had growing up, though she admits friends get nervous when she’s their passenger because they think she’s judging their driving skills.

UPCOMING:

  • F1 Academy 2024 season
  • Williams F1 team activities
