Sophie Ogg

Welcome back to Racing Lives! This week, my guest is a familiar name to most Formula 1 fans: the brilliant Sophie Ogg. Sophie has worked her entire professional life in motorsport, climbing up the racing ladder from Formula BMW UK, via the World Touring Car Championship and A1 GP - with a touch of America’s Cup for good measure - ending up of course in Formula 1 where she now heads up the communications function at Williams Racing and counts almost 10 years with the legendary team. 

She has recently become a mum for the first time to Florence, and so has paused her travelling ways momentarily, and is getting to grips with the new challenge of being a working mum in the fast-pace world of motor-racing. 

She is one of my longest and closest friend in this industry, having cut our teeth in touring car racing together and climbed through the motorsport ladder at similar times. Our regular weekend catch-ups have become one of our favourite social media moments, which you may have come across; the F1 Grid Selfies!
