Alex Albon has admitted Williams “overdid” several areas on its 2024 F1 car as a consequence of the team committing to its biggest changes in “seven years”.
Williams made significant changes to their car concept over the winter to reduce their reliance on low-downforce tracks and improve their overall performance. Despite overcoming past limitations, the team faced challenges with an overweight car and expensive shunts impacting their development progress. Alpine’s recent success in Brazil pushed Williams towards ninth place in the Constructors’ Championship. Driver Albon noted the changes made to the car this year were more significant than in previous years, resulting in new issues surfacing. Williams’ boss warned of a potential setback next season as they prepare for new regulations in 2026, while Albon stressed the importance of balancing long-term goals with short-term improvements.
