I was very disappointed this morning when I read they wouldn't give her a shot even if Bottas can't drive next week. I expected better from Williams 

Pretty much. It makes more sense not letting her race in this grand prix; what with not taking part in practice or quali. But next race? Where's the excuse?

Ya apparently the rule is that you can't replace a driver for a race unless the replacement driver has participated in at least one practice that week. Didn't know that before, so they couldn't race her this week.

But if Bottas is still unfit for the next GP, not that I don't wish him a speedy recovery, then there's no excuse for not racing Wolff. Williams doesn't have an officially designated replacement driver, and Wolff is far more qualified to jump in than their development driver.
