Jamie Chadwick's Formula 1 dream remains intact. The English driver is currently the fastest woman in motorsport, as she has been proving for several years now, for instance with her championships in the W-series. She has also been active for Williams as their simulator driver for some time. Chadwick will fulfil that role in 2023 as well.
Williams announced on Wednesday afternoon that they have extended Chadwick's contract. In a message on Williams' site she said: "To be continuing my relationship with Williams is amazing; I’ve had their support since 2019. Having the opportunity to immerse myself within the team and keep that Formula One dream alive is very important. I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together."

Chadwick remains part of Williams Academy, which until recently included Logan Sargeant, until he made the step up to a full time seat. Sven Smeets is in charge of the training programme. “We’re very excited to have Jamie continuing as a core part of our Driver Academy at Williams Racing. She’s an incredibly talented driver and an important role model in inspiring the next generation of females in motorsport. We look forward to supporting her in 2023 while she takes on the new challenge in INDY NXT.”
Chadwick will be mainly active in the United States next season. INDY NXT is the gateway to the IndyCar series, which until this year was known as Indy Lights.
