Williams test driver Susie Wolff will get behind the wheel of the Grove outfit’s new 2015 car at the Barcelona test in mid-February, she confirmed on Monday.
The Scot became the first women in over 20 years to participate in a race weekend when she took part in first free practice at last years British and German Grands Prix.
She was recently promoted from development driver to test driver and has now been given the chance to drive the Williams FW37 at the second or third pre-season test.
“With six weeks until my first test in the FW37 it’s full focus on fitness and preparation,” she wrote on her Twitter.
Driving duties for the first test in Jerez between February 1st and 4th will be shared between Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas.
The team has yet to confirm when they will officially unveil their new car, with Force India the only team so far to have done so.
