    Susie Wolff
    The next chapter begins as I join F1 Academy as Managing Director.
    This presents an opportunity to promote genuine change in our industry
    by creating the best possible structure to find and nurture female
    talent on their journey to the elite levels of motorsport, both on and
    off the racetrack.
    There is a lot of work to be done but there is also a clear
    determination to get this right. In doing so, I believe the F1 Academy
    can represent something beyond racing. It can inspire women around the
    world to follow their dreams and realise that with talent, passion and determination, there is no limit to what they can achieve.
    I would like to thank Stefano for entrusting me with a role that means
    as much to me personally as it does professionally.

    Pity you never got a chance to show everyone what you could have done
    in a Grand Prix.
    Good luck with the new job Susie

    Well done Suzie , you are a long way from where you started racing karts
    all over Scotland and beyond alongside your brother with the support of
    your parents I remember the big truck you’re dad used for racing and the effort your mum put into the sport, but you Suzie are in the
    stratosphere now doing great things for women in the world of
    motorsport, bless you, keep on being you , regards Frank ( an ex karter
    from your era !)😎
