Susie Wolff appointed development driver for Williams F1

Mercedes DTM driver Susie Wolff has been appointed development driver for the Williams F1 Team.
“Susie is a talented, successful and highly professional racing driver who competes in one of the world’s most fiercely-contested racing series. Susie will join Williams as a Development Driver, in which capacity she will assist us with the development of our simulator and other technical challenges,” said Sir Frank Williams, Team Principal.

The Scot is going to perform some aerodynamic testing with the FW34 as well as further track testing in the coming months.
“I would like to thank Sir Frank for giving me this opportunity both on and off the track. I must also thank Mercedes Benz AMG and HWA for supporting me to take up this new experience with Williams. Formula One is the ultimate challenge for any racing driver and it offers me the chance both to apply and to improve the skills I have developed racing in DTM,” said Wolff.

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone is glad to see Wolff getting the opportunity with Williams.
“If Susie is as quick in a car as she looks good out of a car then she will be a massive asset to any team and on top of that she is very intelligent. I am really looking forward to having her in Formula One,” said Ecclestone.
