Wolff backs social media exodus for athletes suffering online abuse

ROKiT Venturi team principal Susie Wolff speaks at length to SNTV - in the third of several stories being released over the next five days. In this instalment, Wolff opens up on her support for athletes who wish to delete their social media accounts having suffered abuse online, following ex-soccer star Thierry Henry's recent exodus.

She said: "I think we're heading into a really grey area where it's become really destructive and toxic in a way, and I always say, you know, I don't care what people's opinions are outside of my circle or my network and people that I respect." Wolff's ROKiT Venturi Racing team have been competing in rounds three and four of the Formula E world championship in Rome. Look out for more from our run of stories with Wolff in the coming days - with Lewis Hamilton and Formula E Gen 3 still to be covered - with Wolff's mentoring of Reema Juffali and rebuilding the Venturi team among other stories already published.
