Williams reserve driver Aitken hospitalised after Spa crash

Williams reserve driver Jack Aitken has been transferred to hospital following an incident during the 24 Hours of Spa.

Aitken was driving a Lamborghini for Emil Frey Racing in the event at Spa-Francorchamps when he was involved in a four-car incident at Eau Rouge and Radillon.

Iron Lynx Ferrari driver Davide Rigon has also been taken to hospital although it has been confirmed neither driver has sustained life-threatening injuries.

A Williams statement on social media read: "Sending our best wishes to our Reserve Driver Jack Aitken following an accident at the 24 Hours of Spa.

"Jack has been taken to hospital for further evaluation and fortunately with no life-threatening injuries. Everyone at the team wishes him a speedy recovery."

Aitken made his F1 debut at last season's Sakhir Grand Prix, deputising for George Russell who was standing in at Mercedes for Lewis Hamilton.
