Two-time W Series champion Jamie Chadwick has been retained by Williams Racing as a member of its Driver Academy.
Chadwick, who aspires to become the next woman to race in Formula 1, joined Williams in 2019 and has embedded with the team on Grand Prix weekends and taken part in simulator sessions at its Grove base.
This year, the 23-year-old British hopeful will compete once again in the all-female W Series and showcase her talent in front of the F1 establishment as all eight rounds of the championship will be part of Grand Prix weekends.
"I’m delighted to continue working with the Williams team," said Chadwick.
"I’ve had a lot of support from everyone there throughout the last three years and the simulator work I’ve done has been hugely valuable for my race preparation.
"I’m looking forward to continuing my programme throughout the 2022 season and I know that the team will be cheering me on during my upcoming 2022 W Series campaign.
"I’m really proud to continue representing the Williams name on the grid."
Sven Smeets, Williams Racing Sporting Director, added: "We are incredibly pleased that Jamie will continue to be part of our team.
"Her immensely impressive performance in the 2021 W Series Championship only reinforced our appreciation for her talent and skill, and we were delighted to play a part in her commendable success.
"Jamie’s role in promoting female inclusion in motorsport continues to be both hugely important and admirable.
"She is a fantastic ambassador for the sport, and we are looking forward to working with her throughout the 2022 season."
Chadwick will share her driver development at Williams with academy members Logan Sargeant, Oliver Gray and Zak O'Sullivan.
