    SL's aren't granted based upon ability.

    Toto is probably getting tired of financing her pipe dream.

    She is 32.... Little toto's in the future. If she doesn't start the reconnaissance lap soon, she will never get to the checkered flag....

    FIA Super Licence

    To qualify for an FIA super licence the requesting driver must already be the holder of a grade A competition licence, and additionally meet the requirements of the 2013 FIA International Sporting Code, Appendix L.[1][2] These requirements state that the driver must be either the reigning champion in a lower category of motor sport, for example Formula 3 (Euroformula Open Championship or Japanese championship), Formula 2, or GP2 Series (formerly known as Formula 3000), or must have consistently finished well in these categories. For example, a driver finishing fourth and fifth (twice) positions in the GP2
    championship within the last three years will be eligible for a super licence.

    Additionally, drivers who have competed in the IndyCar Series are eligible for a super licence if they finished within the first four places of the driver's championship. This allows drivers from the United States domestic series to move into Formula One without first taking part in other FIA sanctioned events. Under exceptional circumstances Appendix L also allows the FIA to award a Super Licence to a driver who does not meet the normal criteria if a vote reveals unanimous agreement by the members, and provided that the driver has completed 300 kilometers of testing at racing speeds in a current car.

    When Bottas was injured in Australia and there was talk of a replacement for Malaysia. The team said at the time that Wolff wouldn't replace him. That's when she knew she would never get a drive.


    "Susie Wolff is our test driver not our reserve driver," Claire Williams said.

    No, I follow F1 since the 1961 Belgian GP.

    What's your point?

    If you know a driver who was granted a super license, in spite of not racing for the last 4 years, in spite of never having won any race, or without having been among the first in a championship, can you share it with us ?
