• JAMIE CHADWICK, the three-time W Series champion and Williams Racing advisor, was involved in a collision with fellow academy driver ZAK O’SULLIVAN during Formula E rookie testing at Jeddah. The incident occurred when O’Sullivan attempted an aggressive inside move during what was supposed to be a practice session, with CHADWICK holding the racing line as any driver should.
• Both drivers are serving as Formula E test drivers for 2025 while juggling other motorsport commitments, showcasing Williams’ investment in developing talent across multiple series. CHADWICK’s role as academy advisor puts her in a unique position – she’s not just developing her own skills but helping guide the next generation of Williams talent including promising drivers like LIA BLOCK and Luke Browning.
• The collision highlights the competitive intensity even in testing sessions, with O’Sullivan’s car suffering front wing damage while CHADWICK emerged relatively unscathed. It’s exactly the kind of racing incident that proves these drivers are pushing limits and treating every session seriously, even when it’s meant to be about learning rather than winning.
