A biography for Susie Wolffhasn’t been written yet.
“My big break came at 22 years old when I joined the Mercedes Benz touring championship team.”
“I'm simply trying to go as far as I can go in racing.”
“One of the whole reasons for starting my initiative, Dare to be Different, is about getting more girls interested in motorsport and that's everywhere, not just driving on track but creating a network where they have the support around them.”
“Because it was my decision to stop racing, I feel fine not being a driver anymore.”
“When I stopped racing, I kept being asked to comment on diversity in the sport but I really felt I had done my part.”
“When you're a driver, you are very selfish and you only need to focus on your own performance because ultimately, it's your name on the side of the car.”
“I hated reading - I was not a 'good kid' - but I was determined when I put my mind to something.”
“We want to get more women into the sport, whether that be marshals, volunteers, engineers, female racing drivers. We want to open up the sport and show there's opportunities out there.”
“I was always very clear when I took some time out to start a family that I wanted to come back and get my teeth into something and of course I could not work for Toto or a competing manufacturer.”
“A woman can be physically fit enough to drive a Formula 1 car. I did the race distance in Barcelona so I have proved that it is possible.”
“These race cars are dangerous and you don't put someone in one unless you are 100 per cent certain that they can do what they need to do and be safe in the car.”
“Every racing driver in the world dreams of making it to F1, there's only 22 spots on the grid.”
“It's all very well to talk about how it would be great to have a woman driver, a woman with sponsors and marketing, that's all great but to get into that drive you have to perform. That's what I realized early on when I got into Formula One.”
“It's not a gender thing. You can pick anyone off the street and it depends on his or her own character how they can drive a car.”
“Love it or hate it, motorsport is not purely talent. It never has been and never will be.”
“I'm not like other females. I'm obviously different because of the path I've taken. I'm just as aggressive as the guys when I get my helmet on. Plus F1 is not just about taking risks, but knowing when to take risks and when to back off. It's also about strategy and managing your tyres.”
“In Formula E, because it has that structure of being quite cost-controlled and partly standardised, it means a small team or big manufacturer, if you get it right you have a chance for success which is great.”
“It is a hugely embarrassing situation to find myself in, I'm a professional driver and to be caught speeding and to have my licence taken away for speeding, it would have an effect on my reputation.”
“I think as much as people talk about Scotland as being a place where it's raining all the time it's a fantastic country. Considering it's such a small country you have to realise how successful it's been in the world of motor sport.”
“As a sports person, you are always aware that at some point your career is coming to an end and you have to do something else. I always knew it had to end one day, and I was very determined to make sure I wasn't going to be known as an ex-racing driver.”
