Susie Wolff says she is aiming to take part in the 2013 young driver test

All 11 teams expected to test at Silverstone in July

Williams development driver Susie Wolff has set her sights on the 2013 young driver test as she aims to move a step closer to a Formula 1 race seat.

The last woman to drive at a grand prix weekend was Giovanna Amati in 1992, whilst the last female to start a race was Lella Lombardi at the 1976 Austrian GP. "They (Williams) haven't said anything but for me it has to happen," Wolff added. "If it doesn't happen, then I'm wasting my time. It's all for nothing. It's got to happen. I am the development driver, so it cannot be that a young driver test comes and you don't put your development driver in. But you never know, so let's see. "People are really pushing now and asking why isn't there a woman in Formula One. For me the timing is good but motorsport is a lot about talent and a little bit about timing and luck."
