Susie Wolff Provides Update on Her Future with F1 Academy
As the managing director of F1 Academy, Susie Wolff has been instrumental in shaping the all-female series into a platform for young female drivers to develop and progress to higher levels of motorsport. With the 2023 and 2024 seasons now complete, Wolff has offered insight into her future within the series.
Given her own experience as a racing driver, Wolff is uniquely qualified to lead the F1 Academy. Her passion for promoting women in motorsport is evident in the series’ mission to provide a supportive environment for young female drivers to hone their skills. The success of the series is already evident, with the 2024 winner, Abbi Pulling, set to receive a fully-funded seat in GB3 with Rodin Motorsport for the 2025 season.
However, Wolff has hinted that she may not remain in her current role indefinitely. In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Wolff was asked about her long-term plans, and whether she envisioned herself staying with the F1 Academy for the foreseeable future.
“I want to ensure that the F1 Academy has a solid foundation and can thrive without my direct involvement,” Wolff explained. “My goal is to establish the series as a sustainable business with a pipeline of talented young drivers. I’m committed to staying on until I’m confident that the series is on a stable footing and can continue to grow and succeed without me.”
While Wolff’s comments suggest that she is not looking to leave her role immediately, they do indicate that she is focused on building a lasting legacy for the F1 Academy. As the series looks to the future, Wolff’s dedication to its success is evident in her commitment to staying on until the series is firmly established.
The 2025 season promises to be an exciting one for the F1 Academy, with a fresh crop of talented young drivers set to take to the grid. The series will also make its debut in Las Vegas, providing a unique opportunity for the drivers to compete on a high-profile stage.
As Wolff continues to lead the F1 Academy, her focus on building a sustainable and successful series will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the world of motorsport. Her dedication to promoting women in racing is inspiring a new generation of female drivers, and her legacy will be felt for years to come.
