The only woman in F1

Written by Jamie Tomlinson.
Susie wolf, aged 30 is the first ever female f1 racing driver. She races for McLaren and has been said to be doing a documentary that has been written and produced by her brother, David. The story was something that needed to be told even though Susie feels like she is a private person and found it hard to open up about everything. Susie, who is a developmental driver for Williams f1 team, began go-carting when she was eight years old, she say’s  “ I don’t race to prove how good woman can be against men. I race because it’s my passion and I hope this documentary will give an insight into my life.”  Susie now lives in Switzerland with her husband, Austrian racing driver Toto Wolff.  Her brother said that when he was making the documentary he had to follow her round for 9 months and found it hard to strike the balance between the role of being a documentary maker and being Susie’s brother. However he did end up having the instinct of a brother kick in at the more difficult moments.
Here are few images of Susie and her f1 car:
