"It will be a great opportunity for me to learn and experience what a Formula 1 weekend is like, and I am looking forward to working with the team and helping them develop the car."

Williams team principal Jost Capito added: "We are delighted to welcome Enzo to the team for FP1 in Mexico.

"He is a talented young driver who has shown great potential in Formula 2 this season, and we are excited to see what he can do in our car.

"This is a great opportunity for him to gain valuable experience, and we look forward to working with him this weekend."
