Nicholas Latifi is set to drive for Williams in today's FP1 session. The Canadian is hoping to impress the team and provide them with valuable data for their race preparations.
"I’m really looking forward to getting back in the car for FP1 at Spa," Latifi said. "After the summer break, I always have an extra urge to drive as it feels like a long time being out of the seat. To have the opportunity to experience current Formula One cars at a track like Spa will be something special.
"I haven’t driven the FW42 since FP1 at the French Grand Prix and there has been a lot of development since then. It will be a good test for myself and for the team to get another opinion on the direction that the car is going in.
"As always, my goal remains the same, to maximize the mileage and to give the best possible feedback to help the team going into FP2."
It is a great opportunity for Latifi to get into a Formula 1 car and see the improvements Williams have made since France.
