Dreams do come true. At 30, my sister Susie Wolff is a development driver for the Williams Formula One team and had her first F1 test last year. Susie trusted me to film over a year of her racing life for my documentary Driven: The Fastest Woman in the World filmed over a year of Susie's racing life, including her testing for Williams.

Go and say hello to Barrie 'Whizzo' Williams at Goodwood Revival in September once you have watched him race, I am sure you will, like me, be struck in awe at how he uses his engineering skills, squeezing the most out of the car and yet, brings it home with a smile on his face.

This weekend the 2013 season starts in Melbourne, Australia and we get to see whether any great strides have been made during the off season.

I am very happy to report that both our newbies have done just that, and we now head to Melbourne in as good a shape as we could be for this stage of the season. While the work has been going on in Spain, everyone back at the factory has also been pushing as hard as they can to prepare for the season ahead.

This is an incredibly intense week leading up to the first test when the 2013 race car finally takes shape. The chassis is built, checked and painted and then the tens of thousands of parts that make up a modern F1 car are fitted to the chassis, all under a stopwatch that is counting down until the moment the car has to leave our factory.

With the teams sorted, I'm moving on to the personalities of the sport. The supposedly best drivers in the world in 2012 (and a well funded Venezuelan) are headed by Sebastian Vettel, who took his third championship. He may have taken the title but the story isn't quite that simple.

I would challenge anyone with that mentality to take part in a competitive motor race or equestrian event and say in all honesty they are not sore the following morning.

Oh Lord Won't You Buy Me (and Help Me Maintain) a Mercedes Benz?

Without doubt buying from a car dealership is the most painful and depressing thing on the planet. Until you get the car obviously then the most painful and depressing thing on the planet is taking it in for a service and finding out your Giddlepin has expelled itself from the Flange hole.

Marussia To Get KERS, Keep Cosworth In 2013

Heading into 2012, we considered the use of KERS would possibly allow Team Caterham F1 to make a much needed surge in the performance category but they still remain adrift of Toro Rosso. One has to be cautious in thinking that Marussia will experience the types of gains that would have them emerging from the back of the grid.

4:30am on a Sunday morning is not an alarm call you ever really look forward to unless you are heading away on holiday. But for a British fan of Formula 1 in mid-March it can only mean that the Australian Grand Prix is due to start.
