Susie Wolff, Venturi Formula E: Life in the fast lane

Susie Wolff was the first woman to take part in a Formula 1 race weekend for 22 years, when she drove for Williams in 2014 at the British and German Grand Prix. She has a long and illustrious career in Formula 3 and Formula Renault, and after retiring from Formula 1 she became team principle for <a href="https://www.venturi.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venturi Formula E</a> team. She also partnered with the Motorsport Association to launch '<a href="https://www.daretobedifferent.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dare To Be Different</a>' - a charity aimed at empowering young women to take part in motorsport. In this episode of Women Tech Charge, Susie talks with Anne Marie about her journey as a female racing driver, from karting to professional racing, and shares her tips for thriving - and winning - in a male-dominated sport.
