Jake Aitken is hoping for a second chance to race in Formula One with Williams in 2021, after being unexpectedly called up to fill in for George Russell in last year’s Sakhir Grand Prix, when the Mercedes protégé got the chance of his life as Lewis Hamilton’s sub after the World Champion became infected with COVID-19. Ironically, it was Aitken’s late spin that brought out the Safety Car period during which Mercedes’ fell apart and robbed Russell of a first Grand Prix victory, but while on track the half-Korean driver impressed his team and is hoping luck will offer him a second, more permanent chance.
