How O’Sullivan FP1 run shows Williams is on right track with young drivers
The Williams team has a strong history of bringing young drivers through its ranks, with notable names like David Coulthard, Jenson Button, and George Russell making their F1 debuts with the team. The Williams Driver Academy was created to formalize the process of developing young talent, and James Vowles, the team principal, has brought his experience from Mercedes in grooming newcomers. Williams now has a roster of young drivers that rivals top teams like Mercedes and Red Bull in terms of potential. This year, the team had four drivers in F3, with Zak O’Sullivan and Franco Colapinto standing out, and they will have the opportunity to drive in FP1 and the young driver test in Abu Dhabi. The team’s partnership with Alpine allows them to rent a car for testing purposes, further supporting their young driver program.
