the 24-year-old Latifi Bahisarena has in 2019 acted as a reserve and test driver for Williams.

the Canadian has previously appeared in both Formula 2, Formula Renualt 3.5, and the european Formula 3 series.

- I'm really happy to move up as running in 2020. I have really enjoyed working with the team of the year, support its development of the car and help where I can - on the field or at the factory, says Nicholas Latifi on Williams' website.

Williams has prior to this weekend's grandprix in Abu Dhabi, which is the season's last, only scraped a single point together in konstruktørmesterskabet - it is clearly the least of all.
