Susie Wolff in action in Barcelona
Williams test driver Susie Wolff will be in action next week in Barcelona during the first free practice session.
As she dreams of becoming the first woman since Lella Lombardi to drive an F1 car in a race, Susie Wolff thought she was close to her dream in Malaysia when Valtteri Bottas injured his back during qualifying in Australia. Unfortunately for her, back-to-back, Claire Williams announced that she would not be racing, but more importantly, that Adrian Sutil had been recruited as a reserve driver.
Susie Wolff talks about this episode on Sky Sports: « It was a surprise for all of us because we didn’t expect it. I respect the team’s decision. I think they wanted someone with more racing experience, that’s why they chose Sutil ».
However, she announced good news on her Twitter profile:

« At this time next week… I can’t wait to drive the FW37 again ». This season, Susie Wolff drove in Barcelona during the first day of winter testing sessions held in Catalonia. Nevertheless, the experience ended with a collision with Felipe Nasr’s Sauber.
In the coming days, Williams will announce who will make way for the Scotswoman.
