Massa will drive the Williams for Senna's first F1 test

Next Sunday Felipe Massa will perform during the Autosport International scheduled at the Live Action Arena in Birmingham with a historic single-seater.

That FW08C powered by Cosworth brought to the race by Keke Rosberg and Jacques Laffite in 1983, but above all the one which saw its debut in July of the same year Ayrton Senna behind the wheel of an F1.

Among the "vintage" cars protagonists of the event, eight will be from Grove, including the world champions of Nico's father (1982), Nigel Mansell (1992) and Damon Hill (1996).

Attending the event were the daughter of owner Frank Claire, the technical director Pat Symonds, the head of engineers Rob Smedley and the former tester Susie Wolff who for the occasion will illustrate her initiative aimed at helping women interested in entering the world of engines.
