The team said on Tuesday that the 21-year-old
Briton, whose success in the all-female series boosted her
profile last year, would "continue to be fully immersed within
the team both trackside and in the factory at Grove."
"Jamie has done an excellent job promoting women in motorsport
and we are extremely proud of the work she has done," said
deputy team principal Claire Williams.
Chadwick, who joined the Williams Driver Academy last year has
been talked of as a possible first female Formula One race
driver since 1976. She will also race in the second season of W
Series that starts in May.
While Williams made no mention of a Formula One test, Chadwick
has made that a clear aim.
"In terms of getting in the car, that’s an ongoing discussion.
We’re sort of pushing as hard as we can but we’ll see," she told
reporters in November.
"If I can continue to do the best possible job in the sim, then
that hopefully gives me justifiable reason to potentially test
the car at a future date."
