SUSIE WOLFF’s F1 Academy Team Delivers Powerful Women’s Day Message

January 1, 1990

• F1 Academy, under SUSIE WOLFF’s leadership, released an International Women’s Day video highlighting their “Give To Gain” mission – proving that the series isn’t just about racing, but building the infrastructure that makes real change possible. The academy provides structured training, racing experience, and visibility to create an actual pathway to Formula 1, not just empty promises.
• CHARLOTTE HICKS, Category Manager, emphasized supporting the next generation in both driving and behind-the-scenes roles, while KATIE MCGUINESS, Communications Manager, shared her hope that women’s inclusion becomes “the status quo and not the exception.” These aren’t just feel-good quotes – they’re coming from women actively building the systems that make opportunities real.
• TIMBO ISIKALU, Partnerships Executive, delivered perhaps the most important insight: she wants young women to see her role and realize jobs exist they’d “never thought they might want to do.” That’s the real victory here – expanding what’s even considered possible for the next generation watching from the sidelines.
