Hence her 'Test Driver' status. For her to also be a reserve driver Toto needs to buy his shares back that he's been busy shedding or they need to start writing some bigger cheques to Sir Frank.
Susie not driving in Melbourne is at least explainable - rules being such. But for her not to race in Malaysia stinks. Not that I am a fan of her or anything. It's just that williams get so much air time parading her in the garage and all those fitness videos seems like such a waste of time.
Garage art. F1, Williams and Bernie blew it being tied down with inflexible rules. Its entertainment not the cure for cancer. Lighten up.
For some reason, i think they got her to be part of the team and all was just purely marketing purposes.
Just read on Bleacher Report, that today Williams "clarified" that Suzie Williams is NOT their replacement driver. Also, to "clarify", their development driver guys is also NOT their replacement driver! They are hoping Valtteri races next week. That's about all they said. In other words, "we have no backup driver as of right now, and we REALLY hope we don't need to find one or tell you anything else". wow!
