Susie Wolff is sitting in a corner office in Formula 1 headquarters in central London, jumping between rooms as she doesn’t actually have a permanent desk here. As managing director of F1 Academy, the all-female racing series now entering its third season, she is in the capital to see the bosses. Wolff is notably relaxed and in good spirits as she discusses the series.
The night before our interview she had shown a few of the upper F1 management the first episode of the F1 Academy documentary, due for release later this year and shot by Reese Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine – a similar proposition to F1’s hugely successful Drive to Survive, with both showing on Netflix.
