Susie Wolff will have her first full Formula 1 test at the wheel of a Williams in this week's 'young-driver' test at Silverstone.

Wolff, 30, is currently the development driver for Williams. She raced in the DTM German touring car championship for seven years before quitting the series to concentrate on her work with the British outfit.

"There is very limited testing, so you only get one chance. You have to grab it with both hands", she tells BBC Radio 5 live.

"It is going to be tough on Friday but I think I am ready for the challenge."

FORMULA 1
The Austrian Grand Prix is to return to the Formula 1 calendar next year.

The news has been confirmed today in a statement issued by Red Bull, the energy drinks company founded by Austrian billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz.

The race, which has been given a provisional slot of 6 July, is to be staged at the Red Bull Ring, formerly known as the A1-Ring and which last held an F1 race in 2003.

The statement read: "Dietrich Mateschitz and (F1 supremo) Bernie Ecclestone have reached an agreement to the effect that Formula One will return to Styria next year."

Have they added in "(F1 Supermo)" or do think that was actually in the statement.

Wasn't sure if that's now Bernie's official title.

Haha, the Red Bull Ring gets its GP back

Big surprise

What a lap from Hamilton to take pole, the Merc pit wall seemed shocked!!

[G]

So did Lewis

Great lap though. Really hope Merc can sustain this form and take the fight to Red Bull, not really keen on yet another Red Bull double championship

[Camble]

Celebrated like a Liverpool goal when Hamilton got pole haha!

Awesome car on a short run, poor in comparison on long runs.

It's like watching Usain Bolt in the 10km.

The move on button was a little ott, he could have given Jensen more space, but you've got to admire Grogan's style. He's got some balls.

Great move Lewis
