The British team will replace American Logan Sargeant in the position of second driver for the rest of the season with 21-year-old Argentinian Franco Colapinto. The latter will be the first Formula 1 driver from Argentina for 23 years.

Colapinto, who last raced in Formula 2, will make his debut this weekend at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.

Sargeant scored just one world championship point in his almost two years at Williams. He would have had to leave Williams at the end of the season anyway to make way for Carlos Sainz, who is coming from Ferrari.
