The arrival of Pat Fry as chief technical officer has been incredibly significant for Williams, as noted by team principal James Vowles. Fry, who joined from Alpine, brings a wealth of experience and an understanding of what it takes to achieve excellence. Vowles emphasizes the importance of investing in people, culture, systems, and structure, rather than seeking shortcuts. While Fry currently fulfills both the CTO and technical director roles, Williams plans to eventually hire a technical director to work alongside him. This structure allows for the possibility of bringing in a less experienced individual with potential in the technical director position.
