  • Uncertain: Susie Wolff made history this year.

    Susie Wolff now faces “the mil­lion dollar question” as to where her Formula One career goes from here.

    As part of her planned pro­gramme as Williams’ development driver, the 31-year-old Scot com­pleted the first practice session for the German Grand Prix at Hocken­heim yesterday.

    When asked where she goes from here, Wolff replied: “That’s the mil­lion dollar question – what comes next?

    “It’s difficult because it was only ever planned for me to do two prac­tice one sessions this season, and that’s the second one done now.

    “It’s tough, and that’s the big trouble in Formula One, to get in the car and get more time in the car. Time in the car counts for a lot, because the more laps you do the better it feels.”

    Wolff made history as she became the first woman for 22 years to take part in a race weekend, and only the sixth overall, at the British Grand Prix a fortnight ago. Reliability issues meant that outing was short-lived.

    She seemed blighted by a similar fate yesterday on her first out-lap, but this time she mercifully coasted back to the garage where the team rectified a minor electrical issue.

    Wolff went on to complete 22 laps, finishing 15th on the timesheet, just a quarter of a second behind team-mate Felipe Massa.
