Williams will introduce upgrades at the Dutch Grand Prix, with the intention of further developments at Baku or Singapore.
The Dutch Grand Prix will be crucial for Williams’ F1 season as they plan to introduce a substantial upgrade following the summer break. Team principal James Vowles confirmed the updates will be rolled out at Zandvoort before the shutdown at Spa-Francorchamps. Williams has focused on shedding excess weight from the FW46, with potential further developments planned for Baku or Singapore. The team’s new philosophy has allowed for incremental weight reduction not possible with the previous concept. Williams aims to improve competitiveness by reducing the car’s weight, with the first target met ahead of upcoming races. Zandvoort, where Williams performed well last year, presents an opportunity to assess the upgraded FW46’s behavior and performance. The team hopes these upgrades will boost their performance, especially given their current position of ninth in the constructors’ standings with only four points earned so far in 2024.
