Browning's fairytale rise from racing a Saxo to an F1 practice appearance

Fairytales do happen, if you look hard enough. From Junior Saloons in a humble Citroen Saxo in 2016, no one could have guessed that, come December 2024, Luke Browning would be behind the wheel of a Williams Formula 1 car in free practice at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

He has arrived at that point through not only sheer determination against the financial odds, but by being one of the most exciting young British talents around – as evidenced by his winning the 2022 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Award. It means that, as well as his role as a Williams protege, Browning undertakes his first full season in Formula 2 this year with Hitech GP – the same team with which he won the 2022 GB3 crown and had a near-miss in the fight for F3 honours last year.
