“The F1 Academy is an opportunity to drive genuine change in our industry, creating the best structures to find and nurture female talent on their journey to the elite levels of motorsport, both on and off the track. There is a lot of work to be done, but there is also a clear determination to get it done. In doing so, I believe the F1 Academy can stand for something beyond racing. It can inspire women around the world to follow their dreams and realize that with talent, passion and determination, there is no limit to what they can achieve,” said Wolff.
