Williams has added Formula 3 racer Luke Browning to its Driver Academy, the Formula 1 outfit announced on Thursday.
Browning is currently contesting his debut season in F3 with Hitech, and holds 10th in the championship after the opening two rounds, which were held in Bahrain and Australia.
The Briton won the British Formula 4 title in 2020 and last year secured the GB3 Championship.

“He’s a highly talented driver with several major achievements already under his belt, including the 2022 Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, the 2022 GB3 Championship and the 2020 British F4 Championship.
“Everyone at Williams Racing is looking forward to working closely with Luke throughout the year as he competes in FIA Formula 3 with Hitech Pulse-Eight.
“He’ll have the opportunity to develop his abilities while providing useful feedback through simulator work at Grove.”
