'She's such a leader, and in a world where often people are silenced, for her to be standing up sends such a great message.'
Lewis Hamilton has said he is “incredibly proud” of Susie Wolff, after the F1 Academy managing director confirmed she has filed a criminal complaint against the FIA.
Alongside that, the seven-time World Champion believes in the need for greater transparency from the FIA as a whole, and Wolff’s case needs to help change the “terrible narrative” in the male-dominated world of Formula 1 as it stands. “I love that she’s taken it out of this world, fighting it from the outside, because there is a real lack of accountability here within this sport, within the FIA, things that are happening behind closed doors, there is no transparency.
“So, especially when we’re talking about inclusivity here in the sport, we need to make sure that we are staying true to the core values here.”
