Williams has announced that W Series champion Jamie Chadwick will continue her work as a development driver within the team's driver academy for 2020.

Chadwick, 21, claimed the inaugural W Series title last year, and enjoyed further success driving in a class winning team at the Nurburgring 24 Hour Race in Germany.

Prior to this, she claimed the 2015 British GT GT4 title, became a British Formula 3 race winner in 2018, and won the MRF Winter Series in 2018/19 - all historic firsts for a female racing driver.

As a development driver, Chadwick will increase her simulator programme and continue to be fully immersed within the team both trackside and in the factory at Grove.
She will attend several Grands Prix this year, as well as supporting the team in media and marketing activities.

"It has been a fantastic opportunity working with the team in my role as development driver," said Chadwick. "The time spent in the simulator has been invaluable and I have enjoyed every moment, immersing myself within the team. I look forward to continuing to work with Williams this year!"

"I am delighted to confirm that Jamie Chadwick will continue her work in the Williams Racing Driver Academy," added Claire Williams. "I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Jamie develop, and excel, both with the team and her time racing in W Series.

"Jamie has done an excellent job promoting women in motorsport and we are extremely proud of the work she has done."
