Jack Aitken and the Williams F1 team have parted ways as he focuses on a career in sportscar racing Full story ⬇️

He maintained his relationship with the Grove-based squad even after ending his full-time single-seater career in 2021 in favour of a switch to endurance racing, but their agreement will not be renewed for 2023.

"I kept an involvement last year, which was great. I really like the team and I’m based half-an-hour away from the factory, so it was very convenient to do simulator work and I was happy to help and attend some races. "They’ve been very supportive of that, and equally they’ve got younger guys coming through their academy, and they want to give them seat time and time in the sim. It just made sense."Aitken said he has no regrets about falling short of his goal to become a full-time F1 driver and is now looking forward to establishing himself in the top tier of sportscar racing.
