Susie Wolff
Suzanne Wolff (née Stoddart; born 6 December 1982) is a Scottish former professional racing driver and current managing director of F1 Academy.
Wolff started in karting, before graduating to Formula Renault and Formula Three, then moving to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) to compete for Mercedes-Benz. In 2012, she was signed by Williams in Formula One to work as a development driver. At the 2014 British Grand Prix at Silverstone she became the first woman to take part in a Formula One race weekend in 22 years, by participating in practice. On 4 November 2015, Wolff announced her retirement from motorsport, last competing at the Race of Champions held at the end of November. In 2016, Wolff joined Channel 4 in the UK to be an analyst for their Formula One coverage.
In 2018, Wolff joined Venturi Racing in Formula E as Team Principal. In 2021, she was promoted to the role of CEO. In August 2022 following the Season 8 finale in South Korea, she announced her departure from Venturi and Formula E.
Wolff's parents, John and Sally Stoddart, owned a motorcycle dealership in Oban until 2025. John, her father, raced bikes competitively. Susie's parents met when her mother bought her first motorbike from her father's shop. Wolff has an older brother David, 18 months her senior.
As toddlers, Wolff and her brother were put on skis and bikes by her parents, with the open spaces around Oban being suited to biking and go-karting. She realised the potential she had to be a racing driver when taken to watch her first Formula 3 race at 13.
Wolff studied international business at University of Edinburgh, but left after a year.
In 2005, Wolff broke her ankle while running, which along with financial issues prevented her from competing in Formula Three.
She met her future husband Toto Wolff, who at the time was a co-owner of HWA AG, while racing for Mercedes-Benz in DTM. He proposed to her on a boat in Venice after eight months of dating. They married in Capri in 2011. In 2017, she gave birth to their son, Jack. She currently lives in Monaco with her husband and son.
