Susie Wolff will on Friday become the first woman in 22 years to drive a Formula One racing car in an official competitive session when she takes the wheel of a Williams in the opening practice for Sunday's British Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton said driving with one eye closed was "virtually impossible" and then turned a blind eye to future visions of team harmony at Mercedes.

Three-time Formula One champion driver Sir Jack Brabham has died, according to reports.
