Note: This interview was recorded on March 9, 2026. We sat down with Susie Wolff for one of our most in-depth conversations -- covering everything from her thrill-seeking childhood in Scotland to racing at the highest levels, navigating a male-dominated sport, and now shaping the future of motorsport through F1 Academy. From driving a pink car in DTM to becoming Managing Director of F1 Academy, Susie opens up about identity, resilience, and what it really takes to succeed in motorsport. We cover shooting her shot with Toto Wolff, the realities of balancing career and family, and why representation in racing matters.
