The winner of next year’s new Formula Two series will be guaranteed a Formula One test drive with Williams, organiser Jonathan Palmer said on Friday.
“In partnership with Williams F1, we are establishing a formula leading directly to Formula One with an outstanding new high performance car yet at a fraction of the cost of the alternatives,” he said in a statement.
“I am absolutely determined that Formula Two will attract the greatest depth of talent by virtue of its extraordinary cost effectiveness, and ... produce most of the best future F1 star talent in the coming years.”
The governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) wants Formula Two to become a low-cost feeder series for Formula One from next year, with Audi-engined 400bhp cars designed by Williams under the guidance of team co-owner Patrick Head.
