Susie Wolff gives her thoughts on comparison with Max Verstappen

Mercedes F1 team’s ambassador, Susie Wolff, joined Tom Clarkson in Beyond the Grid Podcast. Susie spoke about the hurdles she passed in order to drive an F1 car. A question about her driving style popped up. She was quick to answer that she was not a fan of under-steer.

She added, “I’m not sure, Tom, that I’m comfortable with you comparing me with Max Verstappen because if I look back at my career, I’m incredibly proud of what I achieved. I had the tenacity and determination, but I wasn’t one of the greats, definitely not. I always lacked that couple of tenths that moved me from the mid-pack to front-pack.”
