Jamie Chadwick完成威廉姆斯F1测试后加入独家名单
这位三届W Series冠军成为最新一位测试F1赛车的女性
Jamie Chadwick在波尔蒂芒为威廉姆斯完成旧车测试项目后，成为最新一位驾驶F1赛车的女性。
这位28岁的车手周一在葡萄牙驾驶去年的FW47完成了32圈，这是她作为英国车队发展车手职责的一部分。
这意味着她成为今年第二位驾驶F1赛车的女性，此前Doriane Pin完成了梅赛德斯测试，而她也是2015年Susie Wolff之后首位为威廉姆斯测试的女性。
这次测试为Chadwick辉煌的职业生涯再添一笔，她曾三次夺得W Series冠军，在Indy NXT和欧洲勒芒系列赛中赢得比赛，并担任Genesis Hypercar项目的测试车手。
自2019年起与威廉姆斯保持合作的Chadwick表示：“这是非凡的一天，一次难以置信的经历。”
“很少有事情能让你准备好驾驶F1赛车在波尔蒂芒这样的赛道上飞驰。”
“但这一切都如我想象，而且比想象中好十倍。我非常感激Atlassian威廉姆斯F1车队给予我这个机会。”
“我记得年轻时看到Susie Wolff坐进威廉姆斯F1赛车，那对我的旅程激励有多大。”
“我希望也能为下一代做到同样的事，今天我获得的经验将对我的比赛以及我能传递给后辈车手的东西产生真正的影响。”
“我非常感激，对这一天的发展感到无比高兴。这是我长久难忘的经历——我甚至可以说这是我人生迄今为止最好的一天。”
这次测试也正值葡萄牙大奖赛明年重返波尔蒂芒之前，这条阿尔加维赛道曾在2020年和2021年两次出现在赛历上。
“Jamie Chadwick激励了数百万女性和女孩，她在各个级别都打破了纪录，”威廉姆斯车队领队James Vowles说。
“她完全配得上在Atlassian威廉姆斯F1车队的这次F1测试机会。”
“在F1准备明年重返波尔蒂芒之际，Jamie为车队收集了重要数据。”
“她的反馈和表现令人印象深刻，正如我们所预料的那样。这清楚地表明女性有路径参与顶级竞争。”
“我期待看到Jamie如何利用这次经验来提升自己的驾驶，并指导我们的年轻车手了解驾驶F1赛车需要什么。”

Jamie Chadwick joins exclusive list after Williams F1 test
The three-time W Series champion became the latest female to test an F1 car
Jamie Chadwick became the latest female to drive a Formula 1 car after completing a Testing of Previous Cars programme for Williams at Portimao.
The 28-year-old completed 32 laps in Portugal on Monday aboard the FW47 from last year, as part of her development driver duties for the British outfit.
It meant she became the second female to drive an F1 car this year after Doriane Pin completed a Mercedes test, and the first to do so for Williams since Susie Wolff in 2015.
The test has added to a glittering career for Chadwick, who has claimed three W Series titles, race wins in Indy NXT and the European Le Mans Series, plus a role as test driver for the Genesis Hypercar programme.
Chadwick, who has been affiliated with Williams since 2019, said: "It was a phenomenal day and an incredible experience.
“Few things can prepare you for driving a Formula 1 car at speed around a track like Portimao.
“But it was everything I imagined and 10 times more. I’m incredibly grateful to the Atlassian Williams F1 Team for this opportunity.
“I remember being young and watching Susie Wolff step into a Williams F1 car and how much that inspired my own journey.
“I’d love to be able to do the same for the next generation, and the experience I gained today will make a real difference both to my own racing and to what I can pass on to the drivers coming through.
“I’m so grateful and incredibly happy with how the day went. It’s an experience I’ll remember for a very long time - I’d go as far as saying it’s been the best day of my life so far."
The test also comes ahead of the return of the Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimao next year, with the Algarve circuit previously featuring on the calendar twice in 2020 and 2021.
“Jamie Chadwick is an inspiration for millions of women and girls who has broken records at every level,” said Williams team boss James Vowles.
“She has thoroughly earned this F1 test opportunity with Atlassian Williams F1 Team.
"Jamie gathered important data for the team as F1 prepares to return to Portimao next year.
“Her feedback and performance were impressive as we knew they would be. This clearly shows there is a path for women to compete at the top level.
“I look forward to seeing how Jamie uses this experience to advance her own driving and advise our young drivers on what it takes to drive an F1 car.”
