by Susie Wolff
First published 2026
From her first go-kart ride as a child, Susie Wolff knows she belongs behind the wheel. While other teenagers collect posters of pop stars, she decorates her bedroom with Formula One champions. Racing through motorsport's ranks, she faces a stark reality: she stands alone as the only woman on grid after grid. Each crash and setback only strengthens her resolve to prove that skill and determination can overcome a sport built without women in mind. Her breakthrough arrives in the form of 25 laps in an actual F1 car, a rare chance she seizes with both hands. When her driving career ends, Wolff refuses to step away from the sport she loves. Instead, she transforms a failing Formula E team from last place to championship contenders. She launches F1 Academy to open doors for the next generation of women racers. Throughout her journey, she navigates her partnership with husband Toto and the demands of motherhood while reshaping motorsport from the inside.
