Williams has 'long list of drivers' for 2022

As the 2021 campaign approaches the summer break, the transfer market is starting to hit full swing. If certain stables, likeAlpine, have already confirmed their next line-up, others are not at that stage yet. This is the case of Williams of which only Nicholas latifi is assured of a steering wheel next season.

At the end of the contract, George Russell is expected to Mercedes to replace Valtteri Bottas whose lease also expires next December. In the event of his departure, the English team must find a replacement. And according to Grove's management, several names are in the papers.

Present at Silverstone on the sidelines of the British Grand Prix, Josh Capito, CEO of Williams, raised this subject when he was asked about the possibility of hosting Nico Hulkenberg, current reserve pilot ofAston Martin.

« We're not ruling out any drivers that might be available next year at this time, launches the boss of the English structure. Nico (Hulkenberg) is so we have a long list ».

Regarding the profile of Nicholas Latifi's next teammate, Jost Capito is looking for “ the best drivers available who want to drive and work for Williams. He is definitely not the one who aspires to the world title next year because in our opinion he would be on the wrong team, he specifies for F1. Com.

We need drivers who are ready to support the team, lift it up, lead it and improve performance. At the moment we are seeing that interest from some pilots is growing ". It’s up to Grove management to make the right choice now.
