But one hope can be insinuated among the supporters of the historic English stable founded by Sir Frank, or theaerodynamic update which will be mounted this weekend on Alexander Albon’s car, and which, according to the well-known journalist Lawrence Barretto, “according to the simulations and according to the circuits, it should guarantee an improvement equal to one second in qualifying“.
Decent upgrade package for @WilliamsRacing this weekend at Silverstone. I understand that according to simulations, and depending on the track, it should be worth around a second in qualifying. # F1

From what we learn, the developments are inspired by Red Bull. Dave Robson, team performance manager, explained: “We have an updated aerodynamic package available for this weekend, which will only be fitted to Alex’s car, to verify its behavior and confirm its intended operation. Bodywork and bottom are the basis of this development and will have thegoal of efficiently increasing downforce of the car“, Chronic problem of the FW44 since the beginning of the season. “We can’t wait to understand how the new parts work, because it is likely they will significantly change the car’s balance and handling and it will take some time to get them right. “ concluded engineer Williams. Alex Albon commented: “Silverstone is the home race of the team and half for me too. This is a special circuit, made even more beautiful by the fans who will show us their support. For me it is the place where it all started, with the kart license taken at the age of eight. The layout is some of the funniest for a driver and it will be even more fun with these cars“. Nicholas Latifi will still be in the car, after the rumors – turned out to be unfounded – that he saw him at home after Canada: “I am very happy to go to Silverstone, it will be a special weekend as it is the home race for the team. The track is one of my favorites on the calendar, I can’t wait to get on track ”.
