"In the next 10 years.. I'm going to be punchy and say yes," said Wolff. "But I think with F1 Academy we are creating such a strong pathway that, when the first one comes, more will follow. That's the plan."
Speaking at the Financial Times Business of F1 Forum in Monaco, organised in conjunction with Motorsport Network, the former Williams development driver delivered her vision for the series that is the brainchild of F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, with significant funding from F1's parent company Liberty Media.
"There aren't a lot of role models, which means there's just this perception in society that motorsport is for men. We really need to change that, " Wolff told the audience of business leaders ahead of the Monaco GP.
"I can say quite confidently that we are going to do everything we can to change the situation. And I think having the support we have, means we have a much better chance of success. Please don't look at this as a woman's thing run by a woman.
"This F1 Academy is for the greater good of Formula 1, our sport. And we all need to be on this journey. The decision-makers are all men at this stage, or 95% of them and they need to be on a journey with us because they are the ones that can help create lasting change in our sport."
Domenicali announced the creation of the F1 Academy at the end of last season and Wolff took over as Managing Director in March. She presented her vision for the programme to Domenicali last month and is now pressing ahead to put the longer-term project in place.
"F1 Academy has to be much more than just a support series. In the end, if we're only providing a platform for 15 young female drivers, we will run out of drivers pretty quickly, because there's simply not enough participation in the sport, " said Wolff.
