Wolff of Williams

Wolff of Williams

Okay so she's much prettier than Leo DiCaprio. And her suit is a racing overall and she does wear it much better than the Wolf of Wall Street.
Susie Wolff is the first woman to be a driver in a Formula 1 team and race in a weekend since 1992 (Giovanni Amati). Part of the Williams crew as a development driver, Susie participated in the British Grand Prix practice session, with the Williams team planning on using this as a huge publicity opportunity. However, due to oil pressure problems grounding her Williams, Susie's time on the track was cut down to just 20 minutes. She probably hoped her first foray onto the track in an official race weekend would involve more fanfare, but the engine problems and the retired car meant she left the track on the verge of tears. No worries though, she will be back for another practice round at Hockenheim, gathering valuable data for her team and slamming it out with the boys on track.
The media coverage pointed fingers at her marriage to Toto Wolff, a majority shareholder in the Williams team, as the reason she's out there on the track. Susie and the team dismissed all of these notions, and with reason. Susie has risen through the ranks in motorsport, starting with karting and moving on to successful stints in Formula Renault, Formula Three, and the fiercely competitive DTM disciplines, and as a test driver for the Williams team. She's earned her right to be in the driving seat.
We can't wait to see how she does in her practice run at Hockenheim.
