Formula 2 driver Roy Nissany will carry out a test driver role for the Williams Formu🐷la 1 team during the 2💟020 season.

The 25-year-old Isreali will take part in three opening practi🅘ce sessions for Williams during 2020 as well as driving the team’s FW43 challenger on a♕ rookie test day as part of his role.

Nissan𝕴y drove for Williams in the post-season Abu Dhabi tyre test last December in what marked his first official experience behind the wheel of an F1 car, having previously carried out a private test for Sauber at Valencia in ▨2014.

“I am thr🏅illed to✃ become official test driver for ROKiT Williams Racing,” Nissany said.

“This is also a landmark for motorsport in Israel. When I tested for the team in Abu Dhabi in December, I instantly felt comfortable in the car an🐽d part of the team.

“The experience that I will gain this year, immersing myself with Williams will prove invaluable and I’m looking forward to getting started, both ൲on and off the track.”

Nissany finished 22nd in the 2018 F2 Championship but did not compete in 2019 due to an injury. Willi🍸ams’ announcement stated that he would be returning to the series in 2020, though the team he will drive for has not yet been confirmed.

Deputy team principal Claire Williams a꧑dded: “It is a pleasure to wel🃏come Roy Nissany to ROKiT Williams Racing in the role of our official test driver.

“Roy demonstrated his capabiliti🌱es driving in the post-season Abu Dhabi test last year and we were extremely impressed with what he could do in a short space of time.

“He is a hard-working indi🌞vidu♓al who we are excited to be working with this year.”
