Williams has confirmed two more first-practice (FP1) appearances for Luke Browning in 2026, taking the Briton to five sessions this season. He is due to drive Alex Albon’s car at this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix, then take over Carlos Sainz’s for FP1 in Brazil.

Browning has already driven the FW48 in Barcelona, Austria and Italy. Car problems meant his first FP1 of the year, in Barcelona, produced no meaningful running.
