American Lia Block will be representing Williams on the 2024 F1 Academy grid, as she joins their Driver Academy programme.
Block is well known in the field of racing, competing in rally, Extreme E and rallycross, becoming the youngest American Rally Association champion in history when she won the Open Two-Wheel Drive class this year. That is some sort of skill right!?
The 17-year-old will participate in her first full season in open-wheel racing, driving for ART Grand Prix in F1 Academy competing against the likes of McLaren recruit Bianca Bustamante.
