Williams Formula 1 boss James Vowles has revealed that the team is on course to have the chassis damaged in
The Williams team faced a challenging situation with only one car available for the Australian Grand Prix due to a crash in practice and a tight deadline for assembling a new chassis.
Logan Sargeant had to step aside as his chassis was given to Albon for the race, while the damaged chassis was being repaired back at the team’s base.
Team principal Vowles expressed confidence in fixing the chassis in time for the next race at Suzuka, with preparations starting in Melbourne and continuing in the United Kingdom.
Despite the setback, Williams will have both cars ready for Suzuka but without a spare tub, increasing the risk of another potential predicament similar to the one faced in Australia.
Vowles made the decision to prioritize Albon for the race, aiming to secure crucial points for the team’s standings, even though Albon narrowly missed out on scoring due to tire issues.
