Williams enters the new Formula 1 season in an inspired position having finished seventh in last year’s Constructors’ Championship.
Williams Team Principal James Vowles is confident that the new FW46 car for the upcoming Formula 1 season is no longer “spiteful” like its predecessor. Last year, Williams had an inconsistent performance, excelling on long straight tracks but struggling on others, which Vowles aims to change with the new car. The team focused on creating a more competitive car that can perform well on a variety of circuits, aiming for consistency across all 24 races. The FW46 made its debut in Bahrain with some teething issues, but Vowles remains optimistic about the team’s potential for improvement. Vowles highlights the rapid development rate in F1 and expects significant progress from various teams throughout the season. The team’s goal is to transform its performance for the future, prioritizing long-term success over immediate gains.
