Not sure if that still holds since the extension of the YDT though.
I guess we have pay testers too now. Man or woman, without any great achievements in single seaters and already 30 years old it is very unlikely to become an F1 driverWhiteBlue wrote:Susie Wolff will drive for Williams.

Its been a long time that a female driver has competed in F1. I'm not sure that Wolff has the necessary skills. The test drive is more likely due to her husband having shares in the company and Mercedes providing engines. AFAIK she has entered 64 single seater races in six years and never won a single race. She had 4 podiums but that is not an impressive achievement.
While part of me agrees, all the teams have will likely have their simulator drivers in the cars for this test to basically "calibrate" them.langwadt wrote:I guess we have pay testers too now.
