Managing director of all-female F1 Academy cautions against quick fix but wants to create pathway for girls to go from karting to F1
Managing director of all-female F1 Academy cautions against quick fix but wants a pathway for girls to go from karting to F1usie Wolff, the managing director of Formula One’s new all-female series, the F1 Academy, believes it could take as long as a decade for the championship’s aims to be realised and return a woman to the F1 grid.

She and Maria Teresa de Filippis are the only two women to have raced in F1 since the championship began in 1950.Photograph: Ronald Dumont/Getty Images Wolff has considerable experience in motor racing and has long been committed to improving diversity within the sport. In 2014 and 2015 she drove in F1 practice sessions as the Williams development driver, including setting a time at the Hockenheimring only two-tenths off that of Williams’s Felipe Massa.
