Susie Wolff has made a vow after the F1 Academy was launched in a bid to create an 'affordable route' for women up the motorsport ladder.
Wolff rose through the motorsport ranks from karting and made history in 2014 by becoming the first woman involved in F1 race weekend as a test driver for Williams. The MBE was approached by Formula 1 chairman Stefano Domenicali and said the opportunity to be managing director of the new F1 Academy race series was “too good an opportunity." She told BBC Sport : "In the end it was something I had to do and really wanted to do."
