Williams have signed 19 year-old and Formula 3 race winner, Franco Colapinto, to their driver academy.
The Argentine driver joins the Williams Racing Driver Academy following an impressive rookie season in F3 with Van Amersfoort.
He claimed a maiden victory in the championship at the Imola round, along with podiums at Austria, Hungary and the Netherlands. This was followed by a win in the sprint race at Monza.
“It’s a real honour to join Williams Racing as an Academy Driver,” he said.
“They are one of the most successful teams in Formula 1 history and I am looking forward to following in the footsteps of my fellow countryman Carlos Reutemann.
"It’s an incredible opportunity for which I am forever grateful. Thanks to everyone at Williams for putting their trust in me.“
