Formula one: Williams appoints female driver
Williams have appointed Susie Wolff as a development driver.
LONDON:
Williams have appointed Susie Wolff as a development driver, making her the second woman to join a Formula One team in just over a month. The appointment was approved by the Williams’ board, of which Wolff’s husband Toto is a member. He sat out of the selection process, said the team. Team principal Frank Williams said the 29-year-old Scot, who races in the German touring car championship, was a ‘talented, successful and highly professional racing driver who competes in one of the world’s most fiercely-contested series’. “Wolff will assist us with the development of our simulator and other technical challenges,” said Frank.
