Williams reserve driver Jack Aitken will undertake this year a third season in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, the Anglo-Korean hopeful remaining with the Spanish Campos outfit and targeting the title in the junior series.
Aitken recently transferred out of Renault's driver academy programme to join Williams as its official reserve driver for 2020.
The 24-year-old will embed with the British outfit on race weekends while racing with Campos in F2 as the junior series is on Grand Prix racing's support bill.
Aitken's teamate at Campos this year will be F2 rookie and former Brazilian F3 champions Guilherme Samaia.
"Formula 2 delivers some of the closest and hardest racing that you will find anywhere in the world, so I’m really happy to be getting back to it in 2020," Aitken said upon the announcement of his new deal.
"My new Reserve Driver role with ROKiT Williams Racing is very exciting, but it’s important to stay race sharp too: especially in case I am called upon to race the F1 car this year for any reason.
"So it was important to find a race drive for this year, and it was logical to build on the excellent work we did with Campos last year to go for another season.
"Campos is a team made up of excellent individuals and I look forward to a new way of working with my race engineer Miguel and all of the rest of the guys."
Aitken won three F2 rounds last year but aims to improve his tally and secure the title in 2020.
"Last year we were fifth in the championship but we were challenging for wins and the championship throughout the whole season, so that’s what we need to try and do again: build the season as a whole and make progress step by step," he added.
"Last year we did a great job of taking the challenge to the bigger teams, winning three times. This year we will carry on that work by going for even more wins and the Championship itself."
