P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Williams is the only team yet to complete any official running, but that will change this week in Bahrain.
Former F1 driver Johnny Herbert believes that Williams will avoid a major setback despite missing the Barcelona shakedown test last month. Williams will be attending the upcoming three-day test in Bahrain after being absent from the five-day test in Barcelona. The team faced delays in the FW48 program and had difficulties with mandatory crash tests, leading to their absence in Barcelona. Despite being behind in mileage and data compared to other teams, Herbert is confident that Williams will catch up in Bahrain. He mentioned that the team might have extra time to refine their package and does not see the Barcelona absence as a significant loss. Herbert emphasized that once Williams hits the track in Bahrain, they will be on par with their competitors in terms of preparation and performance.
