Williams boss James Vowles has noted that the team’s strong package in 2025 has helped maintain performance despite aerodynamic testing changes in Formula 1.
Currently, Williams is performing well in the Constructors’ Championship, holding fifth place with a comfortable lead over Aston Martin in the midfield.
Their FW47 car has been consistently fast this season, achieving points in nearly every race except for a few due to engine cooling issues leading to DNFs.

He believes that the team has adapted well to the testing limitations and has executed races effectively to secure their position in the standings.
Vowles expressed his surprise at the unexpected strong performances of the FW47 at certain circuits like Imola and Miami, showing the team’s resilience and competitiveness in the field of Formula 1.
