Susie Wolff has had a career of being the only woman on track, the only woman in the room. Becoming the first female driver in 22 years to drive a Formula One car at Silverstone in 2014, Wolff knew people had placed their highest hopes on her, while others were hoping she’d fail. After retiring from driving, Wolff has taken on a new challenge – the world of Formula E. As the principal for the Venturi racing team, Wolff is now a leading figure for this new world of electric race cars, and is aiming to make the championship more diverse than it’s Formula One predecessor. As Wolff likes to say, when the drivers are lined up on the starting grid, you can’t see who’s a man or a woman.
