Williams ready to switch focus to 2024 F1 car

Williams believes now is the right time to switch focus to its 2024 Formula 1 car off the back of some rapid progress with its current challenger.

The Grove-based squad came in to this season following a difficult 2022 campaign where it finished last in the constructors’ championship.

But under the leadership of new team principal James Vowles and changes in its technical structure, it has delivered some solid gains with its FW45 challenger.

This included a major push to bring a decent upgrade package to the Canadian Grand Prix, which has helped the team moved up to seventh in the constructors' standings.

Reflecting on the team’s plans for the remainder of the campaign, head of vehicle performance Dave Robson suggested that the state of the car now meant it made more sense to shift resources to the FW46.

“I think most of what was in the pipeline, we've now delivered,” he said.

“There was the front wing we brought to Silverstone and we'll see that again in Spa. But beyond that, probably just some small things if they come through the wind tunnel and we can make them quite quickly.
