Williams confirmed on Monday that Susie Wolff and Daniel Juncadella will take part in this week's Young Driver Test at Silverstone, while Pastor Maldonado will test Pirelli's new tyres.
"It's a fantastic opportunity for me, so now it is up to me to prepare myself the best that I can for the day," said Wolff, whose responsibilities at Williams also include working in their simulator. "It's going to be a big challenge but the most important thing is to do a solid and consistent job and to give good feedback to the team to be able to prove I am at the level to compete on a day such as this. "Most of my work is based in the simulator which is why this day is so important for me. It will give me a better understanding of what the car is like on track and how that correlates to the simulator which will also help further develop the work I can do there." "It's an important test for any young driver as there aren't many opportunities to drive a Formula one car," added Juncadella. "I had my first taste of Formula One as a prize for winning the 2012 Formula 3 Euro Series title, but it was a 2009 car so I therefore see this as being the real deal, having the chance to drive a current car in a full test."
