F1 Academy head Susie Wolff recently shared a fond story about how Lewis Hamilton helped her open her champagne bottle on a podium when they raced together in Formula Renault 2.0. This was Wolff's second year in the series, while Hamilton was in his third year.
Back in 2001, Lewis Hamilton officially started his racing career after he was massively successful in Karting championships. He first joined Formula Renault with Manor Sport, making his way up the motorsport ladder. In 2002, Susie Wolff also started her racing career by getting into the same series with Team DRF.
In 2003, Wolff stood on her first podium in Formula Renault in Snetterton. She finished third while Lewis Hamilton, in his third year, won the race.
