Back to school is ready at Williams where 8 residents will be welcomed for this 2025 season. The main news, even if it is not really a surprise, is none other than the confirmed departure of Zak O'Sullivan. The Englishman, who was unable to finish his season Formula 2 with ART Grand Prix, will continue his career in Super Formula where he will represent Toyota within the Kondo stable.

As for the 2025 vintage, Luke Browning (F2 with Hitech GP) and Alessandro Giusti (F3 with MP Motorsport) appear as the spearheads of Williams in the promotional formulas. Lia Block (F1 Academy with ART Grand Prix) and Oleksandr Bondarev (F4 Italy with Prema), who will make his debut, complete the contingent of the English team in car.

Williams also has four other representatives in karting : Sara Matsui (OK), Dean Hoogendoorn (OKJ), Will Green (OKJ) and Lucas Palacio (OKJ-N).

« We are delighted to confirm the Williams Racing Driver Academy drivers for this year, and proud to showcase the talent and promise of each of our drivers, welcomes Sports director Sven Meets. The Academy is at the heart of our ambition to shape the future of our sport, supporting them both on and off the track. We look forward to monitoring the progress of all our riders throughout the 2025 season. »

An Academy that had promoted Colapinto in 2024 before letting him go to the "Brille A Tort" fold, ready to jump on Doohan's seat at the first opportunity! A 2025 promotion of which no element, except a catastrophe of one of the incumbents, will only watch F1

none of which, barring a catastrophe involving one of the holders, will make the big leap into F1
