Appointed development driver in April 2012, Susie Wolff gradually gained prominence within the Williams F1 team. Indeed, she had the honor of being the first to take the wheel of the FW35 single-seater at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n

Susie Wolff cannot currently drive in official F1 events due to the lack of a super license, as she chose not to apply for one despite having enough mileage following the Silverstone tests. She told us in Hungary: \u00ab I don’t think I’ll be getting a super license by the end of the year but probably next year. \u00bb 2014 could therefore be a pivotal year for the thirty-something if she were to drive regularly on Fridays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
