Williams confirms Nissany and Aitken for Abu Dhabi tests
Williams F1 has announced the appointment of Roy Nissany and Jack Aitken for the end-of-season tests at the Yas Marina Circuit.
As every year, two days after the last Grand Prix of the season, the chance to try F1 will be given to young drivers. While Renault, future Alpine team, attempts to register Fernando Alonso for these rookie tests, others are beginning to move their pieces forward.
Williams has decided to engage two of its reserve drivers for the tests on December 15th. This is not a surprise since the drivers who will be behind the wheel of the FW43 in Abu Dhabi have actually already participated in several free practice sessions during the season.
The English driver Jack Aitken opened the session in FP1 at the Red Bull Ring, followed by the Israeli driver, Roy Nissany, in FP1 at Barcelona and Monza. The latter will again have the chance to try driving a Williams in Bahrain on November 27.
As a reminder, these two drivers are experiencing a difficult season in F2. Aitken is currently 12th in this ranking while competing in his third season in the category. As for Roy Nissany, he is 19th in his second season in the antechamber of F1.
Pleased to confirm that @JaitkenRacer and @RoyNissany will both drive for the team in the post-season Abu Dhabi test.
