Williams was only able to field one car in Australia due to Alex Albon’s significant crash during the first practice session. The delayed build of the FW46, amidst Williams’ efforts to change its construction process for long-term strategies, prevented the team from preparing its spare chassis in time. The damaged chassis had to be repaired so that Williams could have two cars ready for Japan, postponing the original plan to have the spare car available until China. It is now expected that the spare car will not be ready until the next round of the campaign in Miami. Logan Sargeant, who did not participate in the race, will receive the repaired chassis, while Albon will continue to use the chassis he used in Australia, taking over from Sargeant. Sargeant mentioned that the chassis repair went better than anticipated, making it perfectly normal for him. Despite the ongoing absence of a spare chassis, Sargeant stated that it will not affect the approach taken by the Williams drivers, emphasizing the need for commitment and confidence in Formula 1 without room for hesitancy.
