Jack Aitken said, “I’m absolutely over the moon to have the opportunity to make my debut with Williams this coming weekend and I am extremely happy for George to have his chance too! I also want to wish Lewis well in his recovery, and good luck to George getting the chance to drive the Mercedes this weekend.”. George very much remains a Williams driver and we look forward to him returning to us fresh from this experience and wish him a successful race this weekend.
