Williams has announced its line-up for the post-season Abu Dhabi Pirelli tyre test, where George Russell and Nicholas Latifi will be joined by Israeli racer Roy Nissany.
The test, which takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday, will see Russell will drive the FW42 on the morning of the first day, before Roy Nissany takes over the car during the afternoon. Nissany will drive again on day two, before handing over to Latifi late morning for the final on-track running in 2019.
Nissany most recently raced in the F2 championship in 2018, after success in World Series Formula V8 3.5 where he competed for three seasons winning multiple races. He also has previous experience driving an F1 car, getting behind the wheel of a Sauber in Valencia in 2014.
"I am excited to drive for ROKiT Williams Racing in the 2019 Abu Dhabi Pirelli tyre test," said Nissany. "It is great experience to build my on-track experience in a current Formula One car, and I hope that I can impress the team whilst doing so."
