According to F1 Journalist Will Buxton, Wolff is the “new breakout star” in the new season releasing on 11 March. He also provided information about some new faces to be featured in the new season. The new faces will include AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda, F2 driver Liam Lawson and Team Principal of Williams Racing Jost Capito.

Susie is a former racer, who began karting at the age of eight. She went on to reach the Formula A World Championships. In 2000, she was named the No.1 female kart driver in the world.

However, season 4 will not feature reigning World Champion Max Verstappen. The Dutchman opted out of the show despite an intense battle with rival Lewis Hamilton throughout the 2021 season. Hamilton, on the other hand, is set to return in his “most pure and real” form.

The rivalry between the two drivers intensified with both making contact on several occasions in the year. The battle also included a 51G crash for Verstappen at Silverstone, followed by a severe collision at Monza. Verstappen’s car crashed into his rival, landing on top of Mercedes’ W12.
