Formula 1 is currently enjoying one of the most prosperous periods in its history. The sport has become one of the most popular in the world, and according to Susie Wolff, Lewis Hamilton has had a major role in that success. The seven-time World Champion has left a lasting mark on the sport, extending his influence well beyond his achievements on the track.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Formula 1 has grown exponentially, thanks in part to Liberty Media<\/a>\u2019s efforts in communication and marketing. Through well-defined strategies, the organization has managed to reach increasingly diverse and larger audiences, contributing to record-breaking attendance figures and viewership numbers throughout the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Lewis Hamilton\u2019s contribution to Formula 1<\/p>\n

Speaking on an episode of the \u201cHigh Performance\u201d podcast, Susie Wolff discussed the key role Lewis Hamilton has played in Formula 1\u2019s evolution. The British driver has also been involved in the FIA\u2019s investigation into a potential conflict of interest concerning her husband, Mercedes<\/a> Team Principal Toto Wolff.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has helped make Formula 1 culturally relevant beyond motorsport and beyond sport itself,\u201d she said. \u201cI think he\u2019s a person with a very powerful voice, and he uses it for good. Others should take inspiration from that. I believe he doesn\u2019t always get enough credit for what he does.\u201d<\/p>\n

Involvement in the FIA investigation<\/p>\n

Continuing on the topic of Lewis Hamilton\u2019s influence, Susie Wolff also spoke about the driver\u2019s support during the FIA inquiry into a possible conflict of interest involving her and her husband. \u201cI think Lewis has always been someone willing to use his voice to do good and has always had a broader vision of how his influence can create a positive impact,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t surprise me that he was the one to speak up, because he\u2019s always the person who steps in when something needs to be said\u2014or when something hasn\u2019t been said but should be,\u201d Susie Wolff concluded, emphasizing the support she received from the British driver during a delicate time.<\/p>\n
