Alongside a racing career that includes wins in a host of single-seater championships and victory at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, Turvey has spent the last 15 years in a test and development role at McLaren.
He is also a Cambridge engineering graduate, with Williams noting that this blend of competitive experience and education “uniquely equips him to contribute to the team’s ongoing progression ahead of major regulation changes in 2026”.

“It’s an honour to have the opportunity to join such an historic and successful team,” said Turvey. “I have long admired Williams and watching Damon Hill win the World Championship for them is a moment that inspired me as I began my own racing career in karting.
“The ambition and determination driving this project are incredibly inspiring, and I’m excited for the challenge ahead to help bring the team back to the top. It is a privilege to work alongside Alex and Carlos, who I consider two of the best drivers in F1.
