Williams F1 reserve driver Jack Aitken will remain with Campos Racing for a second successive season in the 2020 FIA Formula 2 championship and has set his sights on winning the title.

Aitken stepped up to Formula 2 with ART in 2018 and he finished 11th in the standings while team-mate George Russell went on to win the championship.

Fortunes improved for the Anglo-Korean driver in 2019 as he claimed three victories, including an imperious home win in the Silverstone Sprint Race, as well as four further podiums with Campos en route to finishing fifth in the championship.

Aitken recently left the Renault Sport Academy to move across to Williams as its official 2020 reserve driver.

The link with Williams means he will work with Russell and fellow F2 rivals Dan Ticktum and Roy Nissany.

“Formula 2 delivers some of the closest and hardest racing that you will find anywhere in the world, so I’m really happy to be getting back to it in 2020,” said Aitken.

“Last year we were fifth in the championship but we were challenging for wins and the championship throughout the whole season, so that’s what we need to try and do again: build the season as a whole and make progress step by step.

“Last year we did a great job of taking the challenge to the bigger teams, winning three times. This year we will carry on that work by going for even more wins and the Championship itself.”

“So it was important to find a race drive for this year, and it was logical to build on the excellent work we did with Campos last year to go for another season.

“My new Reserve Driver role with ROKiT Williams Racing is very exciting, but it’s important to stay race sharp too: especially in case I am called upon to race the F1 car this year for any reason.

“Campos is a team made up of excellent individuals and I look forward to a new way of working with my race engineer Miguel and all of the rest of the guys.”

Aitken will be team-mates with former Brazilian Formula 3 champion Guilherme Samaia, who tested for the team in the post-season test in Abu Dhabi.

Samaia added: “I’m really happy to join Campos Racing team for the 2020 Formula 2 season. I feel I couldn’t be in a better place to come into the championship. Campos Racing showed strong and solid results last year and throughout their whole history.

“They are a very professional and reliable team. I am lucky to have such an experienced team and team-mate with me, which I will learn a lot from. I’m confident that together, we will be a strong presence this season.

“I would like to thank my sponsors and all those around me that made this possible. Joining F2 is a major step on my career, I feel ready to face the challenges it will bring me. I can’t wait to get started in this new era of Formula 2.”
