Susie Wolff crashes with Nasr during Barcelona test

Susie Wolff's first appearance of the year on the opening day of the Barcelona test ended with a high-speed crash after her Williams collided with Felipe Nasr's Sauber.

Wolff was on an outlap at the time when the accident occured, while the Brazilian was on a hotlap as the two drivers approached Turn Five at the Circuit de Catalunya.

Although both Nasr and Wolff were unhurt in the crash, their collision resulted in a twenty-minute delay while their two cars were retrieved from the gravel trap.

The Sauber, in particular, suffered extensive damage with the rear-wing of Nasr's car apparently ripped off.

A Williams spokesperson told Sky Sports that Wolff did not feel she was to blame for the incident as Nasr had moved back onto the racing line in the braking zone after staying wide to overtake on the exit of Turn Four.

Wolff had completed 83 laps at the time of the accident, but the team were unable to confirm if she would return to the track until they assessed the damage to the car which appeared signifcant on the front-left corner.
