“I’ve been working hard to prepare for the session so I can make the most of this amazing opportunity and help the team plan for the race weekend ahead. I can’t wait to get back into an F1 car and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone in the Driver Academy and at Williams for their trust and support.”
Browning will replace Carlos Sainz in the FP1 session in Mexico on Friday 24 October.
Williams’s Sporting Director, Sven Smeets added: “Luke has had a strong season in Formula 2 so far, consistently showing his pace across a range of circuits and racing conditions.
