Israeli Roy Nissany is to be Williams’ test driver in Formula 1 in 2020.
The 25-year-old, who last raced in Formula 2 in 2018 and will do so again this season, will drive in three practice sessions and one test as part of his role.
“This is a landmark for motorsport in Israel,” Roy Nissany said following the announcement in Tel Aviv on Wednesday.
Deputy team principal Claire Williams said: “Roy demonstrated his capabilities 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.
