Jack Wolff Hurt in Heavy Kart Crash at Viterbo Final

Track medics gave the nine-year-old an all-clear after on-course treatment, leaving his parents focused on his recovery while in Austin.

Overview

  • The crash happened Friday in Viterbo during the X30‑Mini final when Jack Wolff’s kart and Nahyl El Gahoudi’s kart became entangled, triggering a multi‑kart collision.
  • Dimitar Uzunov’s kart then rode over Wolff’s machine and struck the boy on the shoulder, but Jack was able to climb out of his kart under his own power.
  • On-site medical staff treated and examined Jack and subsequently reported an all‑clear, and the child reportedly insisted he wanted to race again pending formal medical permission.
  • One outlet, BILD, separately reported that Jack restarted the next day and finished 10th of 35, but that specific claim currently relies on a single source and has not been widely corroborated.
  • Jack is a recent IAME X30 U10 series champion, the crash drew extra attention because he is the son of Mercedes motorsport chief Toto Wolff and F1 Academy head Susie Wolff, and a video of the incident was shared on X by motorsport journalist Thomas Maher.
