F2: Lancaster aims for F1 test with Williams

Eurocup Formula runner-up Renault 2.0 in 2007 and 12th in the F3 Euroseries the following year, Jon Lancaster then competed in two seasons of Formula Renault 3.5 Series where he scored three podiums including one victory. This season, he joins the ranks of the Formula 2. Although he missed the opening round at Silverstone, the Briton's ambition is nothing more and nothing less than winning the title. He will make his debut in the discipline this weekend at Magny-Cours.

“I have driven at this French circuit in the past, and did a shakedown of the car at Bedford, which should help me this weekend, He says. I really appreciate this car. I only have one goal this season: Win to take the test F1 with Williams »

With only seven rounds remaining, Lancaster will have no room for error.
