The F1 team has announced a temporary replacement as part of the pilots at the Mexico Grand Prix

The Williams team confirmed that at the Mexico Grand Prix, the team will not release Carlos Sines for the first practice to provide the place of the pilot of the Academy of Leuuck Browning.

For the 23-year-old formula pilot 2, this will be the second performance in the Williams car in the season. Previously, he participated in the first practice before the Bahrain Grand Prix. Browning also already led the team car in the first practice of last year in Abu Dhabi and was tested by previous machines (TPC).

Browning in Austin will become the third of the four compulsory sessions for newcomers that each team has to hold this season.

The young pilot this year approaches the final stages of his first full season in Formula-2, demonstrating high performance: he won and nine catwalks. Such stability has made the impression of Williams, who continue to work with Browning under the Academy.

Another pilot of their academy, Ukrainian Alexander Bondarev, has completed the season of Italian Formula-4 this year with a historical result for Ukraine.
