Mercedes F1 team principal Toto Wolff attended a special event at London’s Lyceum Theatre instead of being at the Mexico City Grand Prix to support his wife, Susie. This deviation from his usual presence at Formula 1 races was to show his backing for Susie’s newly released memoir titled “Driven,” which narrates her remarkable journey from the Scottish Highlands to the pinnacle of motorsport.
Susie’s motorsport career began at the age of eight in karting, leading to her venture into single-seat racing in 2001 with Formula Renault. Despite facing challenges such as an ankle injury during her Formula 3 season with Alan Docking Racing, she persevered. Subsequently, she competed in DTM from 2006 to 2012 before joining Williams as an F1 development driver.
Notably, Susie made history by becoming the first woman in nearly two decades to participate in an F1 weekend at the 2014 British Grand Prix. After retiring from Formula 1 in 2015, she assumed the role of a brand ambassador for Mercedes in 2016, a position she still holds today.
Currently, Susie serves as the Team Principal for Venturi Racing in Formula E and manages F1 Academy, an all-female racing series. While Wolff missed the Mexico City Grand Prix, he closely monitored his team’s performance. Mercedes faced a challenging race with Kimi Antonelli finishing sixth, just ahead of George Russell. The event was won by McLaren’s Lando Norris, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen securing the remaining podium spots.
Heading into the final four races, George Russell ranks fourth in the Drivers’ standings with 258 points, trailing the leader Lando Norris by 99 points. Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli holds the seventh position with 97 points. In the Constructors’ standings, Mercedes holds third place with 355 points, closely behind Ferrari. However, McLaren leads with 713 points, backed by 13 victories and 30 podium finishes.
