href="/web/20121019195126/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/f1-information/f1-teams/williams/">Williams</a> F1 car during an event for the team’s sponsors at Silverstone today.</p> <p>Wolff, who became a development driver for Williams in April, did to 50km runs in the team’s 2011 car, the FW33.</p> <p>“It was incredible to experience a Formula One car for the first time,” said Wolff. “I’ve done a lot of simulator work since I joined the team but nothing compares to the exhilaration of driving the real thing.</p> <p>“The conditions were a little tricky as it was quite damp at the beginning of the run but the track soon dried out. The team also did a fantastic job preparing me for today, giving me all the information I needed so that I was always in control.”</p> <p>During the event Williams race and test drivers <a title="Pastor Maldonado" href="/web/20121019195126/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/pastor-maldonado/">Pastor Maldonado</a>, Bruno Senna and Valtteri Bottas drove two of the team’s earlier F1 cars.</p> <p>They included a 1982 FW08, of the type used by <a title="Keke Rosberg" href="/web/20121019195126/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/f1-information/whos-who/whos-who-r/keke-rosberg/">Keke Rosberg</a> to win the drivers’ championship that year, and an FW18, which Damon Hill won the 1996 drivers’ championship with, and which also claimed the constructors’ championship for the team.</p> <h3>Susie Wolff’s F1

He is often quicker than his team mate in races and sometimes he is consistently as quick as the front running cars.</p> <p>His main problem is the time he lost the last few years, he deserved to be in F1 in 2009 more than Damon Hill deserved to be in 1993, as he had better results in junior categories. Had he started with Brawn in 2009 he would probably have won races in his rookie year and he would surely be a much better and developed driver by now. Even so he can still become as good as a Button or a Rosberg if he has the opportunity to develop himself in F1. If not he is out but he remains a very good driver.

I think that of the male drivers too, as well as the cash cows that occupy seats on the grid like: Karthykeyan, Petrov, Kobayashi to name a few (two of which have nothing left to bring to their teams).
