The Williams Formula 1 team has announced Alessandro Giusti and Sara Matsui have become the two latest inductees into its driver academy.

Giusti, 17, will return to the Formula Regional European Championship with ART Grand Prix after finishing sixth in his maiden campaign last term with three wins.

The Frenchman graduated to FRECA as 2022 French Formula 4 Champion, which he secured in just his second year of single-seater racing on the back of 12 podiums and two wins.

“I’m so excited to be joining the Williams Racing Driver Academy,” Giusti said.

Her 2024 programme will see her compete in OKJ class with Kart Republic and the 2024 Champions of the Future Academy supported by F1 Academy.

“It’s an honour to be part of the Williams Racing Driver Academy and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be working with such an historic team,” said Matusi.

“I’m looking forward to building my experience in Europe and I can’t wait for the season to start!”
