ABU DHABI -- Williams has confirmed Canadian Formula 2 driver Nicholas Latifi will replace Robert Kubica at its team next year.
Latifi, who is currently a Williams reserve driver, has been the prime candidate for the role ever since Kubica announced he would not be continuing in 2020 earlier this year. The 24-year-old has taken part in six first practice sessions this season and is currently second in the F2 championship with one race weekend in Abu Dhabi remaining.
Latifi will race alongside George Russell next year, who joined Williams at the start of 2019 but remains on loan from Mercedes.
