Jack Wolff, son of Toto Wolff and Susie Wolff, has clinched his first championship in go-karting. The achievement came after he won the final round of the IAME Series Italy Racing Formula at the Leopard Circuit Viterbo last weekend.
The eight-year-old was dominant throughout the season in the X30 U10 category. With KR Motorsport, he sealed the title in style: finishing on the top step of the podium in the season finale. This victory completed his impressive journey after he also took his first win in the same series back in July.
Heading into the final round, Jack led the standings. There was pressure, but he proved his quality with a calm and competitive performance. “It was good. We had a lot of wins and some bad races but at the end we fought well and we won the championship, so I’m really happy,” he said after the race.
Jack admitted the competition in this category is fierce. “From the season I did not know I would win nearly every single round so I was really surprised that I was up there. It’s really competitive. There’s a lot of good drivers fighting in the championship and we came here on the first step,” he added.
He also thanked his team and family. “I want to thank my whole team, my mum, my dad, my whole family to get me here, to race, and to win the championship,” Jack concluded.
The name Jack is already familiar in the paddock. His father, Toto, is the team principal of Mercedes in Formula 1, while his mother, Susie, serves as managing director of the F1 Academy. Growing up in a racing environment has clearly nurtured Jack's natural talent. This title is a promising first step in his racing career.
With a first championship at such a young age, Jack Wolff shows that the racing blood of the Wolff family runs deep. The public now awaits his progress on future tracks. If he continues to develop, it's not impossible that he will follow in his parents' footsteps in professional motorsport.
