Jamie Chadwick has been retained as an academy driver at Williams despite securing a full-time deal to race in the United States.
The 24-year-old from Bath, who has been the dominant force of the all-female W Series - winning the championship on three occasions - has agreed to drive for Andretti Autosport in this season's Indy Nxt series.
However, Williams have confirmed that Chadwick will remain with them in a support role.
The British outfit, who have a new team principal following James Vowles' switch from Mercedes, say Chadwick will "continue with a personalised simulator program to aid in her progression as a driver and provide valuable support to the team's race preparations".
