Overview
- Chadwick completed 32 laps in Williams’ 2025 FW47 during a Testing of Previous Cars session on Monday, providing on-track telemetry and driver feedback.
- Williams said the session helped gather setup and circuit data the team can use as it prepares for the Algarve circuit’s planned return to the F1 calendar in 2027.
- The run made Chadwick only the second woman to drive a Williams F1 car and the first British woman to sample modern F1 machinery since 2023.
- Chadwick described the day as “phenomenal” and “the best day of my life so far,” and Williams boss James Vowles praised her pace and technical input while Sky Sports F1 will feature the outing.
- Williams framed the outing as a development and visibility milestone tied to Chadwick’s ambassador and F1 Academy advisory roles and did not announce any move to a full race seat.
