Williams has made a subtle change for Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant in 2024.
The first day of pre-season testing in Bahrain provides a detailed look at the new cars, notably the Williams FW46’s unique design feature. Williams has moved the LED screen from the chassis bulkhead to the steering wheel, aligning with other teams’ setups from 2014. When turbo hybrids were introduced, teams could put screens on the steering wheel for driver assistance, a feature Williams did not utilize initially. Former technical director Pat Symonds believed this decision reduced steering inertia. Alex Albon set a best time of 1:34.587s in the morning session before stopping, affecting Logan Sargeant’s afternoon session.
