Williams test driver Susie Wolff believes her fastest lap during the Silverstone young driver test proves she’s worthy of her place with the team.
The 30-year-old was just four tenths off Daniel Juncadella’s best time from Thursday – though he was faster on the opening day – and she says the team were pleased with her performance.
“It was a fantastic day. Overall I was happy,” said Wolff.
“I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t think it was possible. It’s about going out there and showing what I could do.
“I’d seen what he [Juncadella] had done and the team were quite impressed by that and I was 0.4secs off that so it wasn’t so bad,” she added.
The Scott is certain she could have gone quicker, but she struggled to get the faster medium compound tyre working.
“There was more potential there, definitely. But the team ran through the programme they wanted to so it was a successful day.
“It was important for me to show I have the performance, it was important to show, given the limited laps I had, I can be on the pace.
“I was only 0.4 secs off the F3 European champion, the guy who’s rated as an up-and-coming young star. For me that was important.”
