Jamie Chadwick becomes part of a select group following her test with Williams F1.

The test has further enhanced Chadwick's illustrious career, where she has secured three W Series championships, race victories in Indy NXT and the European Le Mans Series, along with serving as a test driver for the Genesis Hypercar program.

Chadwick, who has been connected with Williams since 2019, expressed, "It was a phenomenal day and an incredible experience."

“Very few things can prepare you for the thrill of driving a Formula 1 car at speed on a circuit like Portimao.

“But it was everything I envisioned and exponentially more. I’m extremely thankful to the Atlassian Williams F1 Team for this chance.

“I recall being young and watching Susie Wolff step into a Williams F1 car and how much that fueled my own aspirations.

“I hope to inspire the next generation in the same way, and the insights I gained today will significantly impact my racing and what I can share with upcoming drivers.

“I’m very appreciative and truly delighted with how the day unfolded. It’s a moment I’ll cherish for a long time - I’d go so far as to say it’s been the best day of my life to date."

This test also precedes the return of the Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimao next year, with the Algarve circuit having previously hosted the event in 2020 and 2021.

“Jamie Chadwick serves as an inspiration to countless women and girls who have shattered records at every level,” stated Williams team principal James Vowles.

“She has genuinely earned this opportunity to test with the Atlassian Williams F1 Team.

"Jamie collected valuable data for the team as F1 gears up to return to Portimao next year.

“Her feedback and performance were impressive, just as we anticipated. This clearly demonstrates that there is a pathway for women to compete at the highest level.

“I look forward to seeing how Jamie leverages this experience to enhance her own driving skills and guide our young drivers on what it takes to operate an F1 car.”
