Wolff is also known for getting into spats with his rival Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.

But there’s one woman in his life who keeps him calm when the going gets tough in the world of motorsport.

So it’s a good thing that his wife Susie also has plenty of experience in the industry.

Who is Susie Wolff?

Susie Wolff was born in Oban, Scotland, where her parents John and Sally Stoddart owned a morocycle dealership.

Early on in her life, Wolff got into the racing industry, progressing through the ranks by getting started in karting.

She then moved onto Formula Renault and Formula Three a the age of 22.

Between 2006 and 2012 she competed in the DTM, racing for Mucke Motorsport, and in 2015 she moved to Formula One with Williams.

Under the Williams banner, she made history by becoming the first woman to participate in a Forumla One weekend since 1992, driving two practice sessions as the British and German Grands Prix.

Wolff retired from racing in 2015 and joined Mercedes a year later as one of their ambassadors.

And now she’s the CEO of Venturi Racing in Formula E.

Susie married Toto in 2011, several years after first meeting, in a Capri wedding.

And after six years of marriage, Susie gave birth to their first child – a boy called Jack.
