Roy Nissany is to make his F1 race weekend debut for Williams in free practice at the Spanish Grand Prix on Friday morning, taking over George Russell‘s car.

The Israeli had previously taken part in the post-season test at Abu Dhabi last year and was announced in January as Williams’ test driver – joining reserve driver Jack Aitken and development drivers Dan Ticktum and Jamie Chadwick on the Grove team’s back bench.

Nissany currently competes for Trident in Formula 2, having previously driven for the Campos team in 2018. His only top-10 finish of the 2020 season so far came in the opening feature race on the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, Nissany ending up in P10.
