Lia Block on leaving Williams: I mean first of all I wanted to try open wheel because it was an unknown territory for me, and I had never really gotten to experience open wheel racing besides a bit of karting when I was younger. So be able to take this experience and - kind of like a golden ticket - and work with Williams Racing and be in the F1 Paddock as well as racing on an F1 weekend in F1 Academy it’s just been so amazing and I wouldn’t have traded these two years for anything. And the biggest thank you goes to Williams Racing. James Vowles, Jamie Chadwick, Alex, Carlos, all of the incredible people I have been able to work with over these two years, it’s just been such a welcoming feelin and feels like a family to me. I had to make the difficult decision on what I want to continue doing for the rest of my career in motorsport. Obviously rally has always been my first love, and something I enjoy doing at all times. That’s ultimately what I’ve decided to pursue going forward in 2026
