Reigning GB3 Champion Luke Browning has been confirmed as the latest member of the Williams Racing Driver Academy.

Browning won last year's GB3 Championship with five victories and eight further podiums, defeating Joel Granfors in the title race at the season finale at Donington Park.

He was then crowned as the latest winner of the Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award in December.

Now racing in FIA F3, Browning has made a strong impression in the F1 paddock having proven an immediate front-runner with Hitech Pulse-Eight.

"I'm really looking forward to being a part of the Williams Racing Driver Academy" Browning said.

"A huge thank you to everyone at Williams Racing for the opportunity to shoot for the stars.

"To be welcomed into the family is a dream come true, the heritage of this team is phenomenal. I can't wait to see where we can go, our journey starts here."

Browning is the second successive GB3 champion to be signed up to the Williams Academy, following in the footsteps of 2021 champion Zak O'Sullivan, who also races in FIA F3.

"We're pleased to have Luke join the Williams Racing Driver Academy," Sven Smeets, Sporting Director at Williams Racing said.
"He's a highly talented driver with several major achievements already under his belt, including the 2022 Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, the 2022 GB3 Championship and the 2020 British F4 Championship.
"Everyone at Williams Racing is looking forward to working closely with Luke throughout the year as he competes in FIA Formula 3 with Hitech Pulse-Eight.
"He'll have the opportunity to develop his abilities while providing useful feedback through simulator work at Grove."
