Wolff to drive on Friday in Spain and Britain
Williams has confirmed Susie Wolff will drive in FP1 at the Spanish and British Grand Prix this season.
Wolff was promoted to official test driver at the end of last season following Felipe Nasr's switch to Sauber. Williams confirmed she would be getting more time behind the wheel as a result and on Tuesday revealed her schedule for the season, with the two free practice sessions as well as a day during testing at the Red Bull Ring the week after the Austrian Grand Prix.
Last year Wolff appeared in free practice at Britain and Germany and she is looking forward to gaining more experience in 2015.
"Our focus this year is to build on the success of 2014 - I've been training hard all winter and I am physically in the best shape I've ever been, so I am ready for the season ahead," Wolff said. "As Official Test Driver I will have additional time in the FW37 and by correlating this with my work in the simulator, the team can ensure we are getting the best from the car and check how updates are performing. All of us drivers on the Williams roster have been working closely together on this and we are ready to give everything we can to the 2015 season."
Deputy team principal Claire Williams says Wolff's performances in the car last year helped her earn similar opportunities this season.
"Last season Susie impressed with her performances during FP1 at Silverstone and Hockenheim and we were keen to give her another chance to test in 2015. She knew the FW36 well and with the FW37 being a gradual evolution, we were keen to utilise this knowledge and get her in the car to help assess and validate the approaches we have taken."
