Day 2 of the second pre-season test session was certainly one to forget at home Williams. The Grove team, which had hinted at some positive signs yesterday and in the three days played two weeks ago in Barcelona, took a significant step back today in Sakhir. The fault of a serious brake by wire problem which hit the FW44 during the morning, causing a fire at the right rear tire of the car. At the wheel of the car was the Canadian Nicholas Latifi, who also helped a commissioner put out the flames that were spreading dangerously from his car. As it seemed predictable from the first moment, this inconvenience knocked out the new creature of the British team, forcing the team not to complete other laps for the whole day.
Latifi therefore today had the opportunity to complete only 12 rounds, against the more than 100 made yesterday by his teammate Alexander Albon. Tomorrow both drivers will be back in the car to try to make up for the time lost today. Latifi expressed his bitterness via Twitter, however thanking the team for the great work done in trying to solve the problems that had affected the FW44. “It is not ideal to have missed today’s test – admitted the Canadian driver – but the team worked at full speed to put us in the best possible position to finish the pre-season tests at a good level tomorrow “.
