The challenges of the Principality
Having concluded the parenthesis in Imola for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, the Formula 1 drivers will arrive this weekend on another historic track like that of Montecarlowhere it will still be more difficult to overtake due to the well-known nature of the city circuit. An appointment where the results in qualificationtogether with strategies which will be adopted by the competing teams, will prove decisive for the final placement.
In Monte Carlo still without points
Two aspects that add to the maximum attention required by pilots in Don’t make any mistakesand which overall will also prove decisive for the Williams especially if you consider your projects linked to the conquest of points area. The Grove company, together with Sauber, is in fact the only team that has never reached the top-10 in the race in the first seven GPs of the season.
The pros and cons
A route that therefore represents a real challenge, as highlighted by Alexander Albon: “We’re heading to Monaco this week as part of the doubleheader, and I can’t wait to get back to driving on this iconic track – he has declared – it’s always exciting when the race is upon us. Monaco has always been a track where our car has struggledso I’m curious to see how the FW46 will perform, given that we changed the characteristics to make it more versatile on different tracks. Monaco is always interesting, with unpredictable weather and challenging overtaking, so it should be an interesting weekend.”
The importance of qualifications
The main mission is therefore to give our all in qualifying to be able to aim for the top-10, which Logan Sargeant he achieved only on one occasion in the 2023 US GP: “It’s always special to race on the streets of Monaco – added the American, whose future at Williams seems increasingly in question – the track is incredibly narrow and leaves no margin for error, so it is essential to build confidence during the free practice sessions. Securing your position on the track is essential, as it is difficult to overtake Qualifying in Monaco was one of the most important of the season. As a team we will try to exploit every opportunity.”
