A small but significant turn of the wheel will take Susie Wolff out of the Williams garage on Friday morning at Silverstone, but on a journey to where? The 31-year-old Scot will become the first woman to drive at a grand prix for 22 years, since Giovanna Amati failed to qualify for the Brazilian Grand Prix on April 4, 1992. Only five women have taken part in a race weekend in Formula One history compared to 822 men. Only two have started a race: Maria Teresa de Filippis and Lella Lombardi, in the Fifties and Seventies respectively. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Lewis Hamilton looks ahead to the British Grand Prix
