How Vowles is changing the culture at the Williams F1 team
Williams team principal James Vowles and chief technical officer Pat Fry are facing the challenge of bringing the team up to speed both on and off the track. Last season, the team showed improvement under Vowles’s leadership, finishing seventh in the world constructors’ championship. The current car, FW46, is the first designed and assembled under Vowles and with limited input from Fry, who started in November. The team faced challenges in the manufacturing process, including the chassis being incomplete in January. Vowles and Fry recognize the need for cultural and process improvements within the organization to ensure better performance in the future. Despite the hurdles, Vowles remains confident in the team’s ability to progress and build a stronger foundation for upcoming seasons.
