Williams play it safe with driver selection for first testing week

Jack Aitken, Daniel Ticktum, Jamie Chadwick and Roy Nissany are all testing- and simulation drivers at the Grove-based team, but for now, Williams are keeping their winter testing line-up as simple as they can. Unless anything out of the ordinary happens, none of the back-up drivers should be in action.

After Haas and Ferrari, Williams are now the third team to release their testing schedule for the first week. Just like the other two constructors, Williams have opted to split one of the three days between their two drivers, with one taking the morning shift and one driving during the afternoon. They will do this straightaway on the firs tday. Ferrari will be doing it on the second day, while Haas do it on the third day. That means this is what the drivers' schedule looks like for now.
