Toto Wolff’s Wife Susie Throws Light on Lewis Hamilton’s Humble Nature

Statistically, Sir Lewis Hamilton is the best driver that F1 has ever produced, and getting to such a stage can change people. But that is not the case with Lewis, according to Wolff. The Wolff in question here, however, is not Toto. Even before Lewis was working with Mercedes and Toto, he knew Toto’s wife, Susie Wolff. Here is a video depicting how Susie Wolff became an icon in the world of motorsports.

Susie and Lewis have known each other for about 20 years now, since their karting days. She insists Lewis is the same person he was back then. The team principal of Formula E team Venturi Racing shares multiple instances which showcase the true nature of the world champion.

Susie Wolff reveals how Lewis Hamilton is true to his core

According to Susie Wolff, Lewis Hamilton is still the same person he was back in his karting days.

She also has a good relationship with Lewis‘s family and vice versa, revealing “If I haven’t seen him in a while, the first thing he does is ask me how my parents, John and Sally, are doing and we remember a lot of things. I’ve watched some of the races with Anthony, his dad, and he’s absolutely the same.”

Susie even talked about her admiration for Lewis. “I have so much admiration and respect for Lewis, for what he’s achieved, and how he manages his life to be the best driver possible,” added Susie Wolff.

Lewis’ time under pressure

It would be safe to assume that getting to such a stage, where Lewis is, comes with a lot of pressure. And in recent times, Susie has seen Lewis in some thought times in his career with Mercedes. And while nobody is perfect, Lewis has learned to handle that pressure extremely well, according to Susie.

“For me, what’s amazing to watch is how well he can push himself in times of pressure. I didn’t have that, at that point, as a racing driver, but he has an ability amazing in the car, and out of the car,” said Susie while comparing herself with Lewis.

Lewis is an inspiration for many. And that doesn’t exclude Susie Wolff, as she revealed her admiration for him. “I’m inspired by Lewis as a racing driver, but also as a human being. Obviously, I see some of the negative comments around what he does, and how he expresses himself in different areas, but you know what? It takes guts to be different.”

The fact that Lewis uses his platform to inspire and fearlessly speak out about certain issues is a suit everyone with the same reach should follow. But in the end, it’s calming to know even the biggest star of the sport has remained true to his core. Never change Lewis!
