Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (<\/a><\/span>DTM)<\/a> racer Susie Wolff<\/a> (<\/span>http:\/\/susiewolff.com\/<\/a>) has joined the Williams team as a ‘development driver’, the British outfit announced on Wednesday.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Wolff, who raced as Susie Stoddart before she married Williams’s shareholder Toto Wolff, will contest her seventh season in the DTM this year.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She will work with Williams’s simulator before she takes to the track in a test in the coming months, according to the team.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Susie is a talented, successful and highly professional racing driver who competes in one of the world’s most fiercely-contested racing series,” said team boss Frank Williams.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

“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. Susie will also undertake some aerodynamic testing of the FW34 and a full track test in the coming months.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Susie will also attend a number of races with us. I should add that, as Susie is married to Toto Wolff, a director of Williams, her appointment was carefully considered and then approved by the board, with Toto recusing himself from the process.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n
Wolff added: “Formula 1 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. In return I shall be offering some of my own technical insight and experience – coming from a different discipline \u2013 and helping the team engage with its partners.<\/span><\/div>\n

“I hope also to demonstrate that women can play a role at the highest levels of motorsport and I shall be working closely with the team on its social responsibility programme in the areas of education and road safety.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone also welcomed the announcement.<\/span><\/div>\n

“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 1.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
