Former Williams development driver Susie Wolff thanked the Williams family.
The Williams story is truly inspirational. At the age of 12, I did my class project on Williams, and I still have it to this day. Little did I know 20yrs later I’d be representing them on track at the British GP, with my husband having started his F1 journey with the team. [1/2] pic.twitter.com/VK9TZQajn9

Having competed in a few Premier Leagues, I know it can be a roller coaster of emotions…the twists and turns in fortune and form. The thing that has to remain constant is belief and professional pride in performance. Each player gave everything they had for the duration. Kudos.

Absolutely devastated with my performance this evening, it wasn’t the player everyone excepts and deserves up there.
Credit to @Superchin180 on the victory. I wish the final 4 all the best for finals night.
It’s only myself that can put things right and will do.
Mike 💚💚
