Williams revampeꦦd their FW44 from last year’s British Grand Prix with 💃the introduction of a package that moved closer to Red Bull’s design. 

With the regulations remaining relatively stable hea🗹ding into 2023, the sidepod shape has been a key area of focus for Williams as they look to get the most out of their ‘evolutionary’ FW45.

Williams 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:revealed their 2023 livery on Monday ahead of the FW45 making its first physicaඣl appearance at a Silverst✃one shakedown next week. 

“It’s going well, the car build is in progress,” Williams’ head of vehicle performance Dave Robson told media including mahbx.com at the team’s season launch.

“Quite large chunks of the car’s systemsꦜ have been test🐼ed independently and now the whole car is currently coming together, getting ready to run it very soon. So the car build is going well. 

“In terms of differences compared to the FW44, the whole car is an evolution in terms of its physical appearance. There’s obviously a few changes from th🎶e regs, otherwise you’ll see it soon. 

“Probꦛably the most obvious change co🧔mpared to last year is around the sidepod shape, which is something we started the process of part-way through last year with the Silverstone package. 

🌌“But we couldn’t do the changes we really wanted to because of where the coolers where. We’ve had an opportunity to re-work that and that’s probably the most obvious visible difference.” 

Williams are looking to lift themselves off the bottom of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 constructors’ championship after slipping below Haas in 2022.

They have signed American168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Logan Sargeant to partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon, wh🐷o is hea🌊ding into his second season with the team. 

Robson said the early indications from the wind tun𒈔nel and simulator point🦩 towards a step forward with the FW45. 

“It’s difficult to know how much we’ve been able to claw back,” ܫhe explained. “It really depends how that stands up compared to everyone else. 

“The floor regulation changes did set us back, as they set everyone back. I think we꧃ are quite pleased with how we reacted to that, but overall, the car is a step forward. 

“We’ve seen in the simulator that we’v💧e started to work quite well on some of the issues that were fairly standout to the drivers last year. So we’re hopeful that will A, materialise on track and B, turn into lap time. So t🌳hat’s all very promising. 

“There’s been a big effort by everyone, a huge amount of effort throughout the company. Everything has gone pretty well in 🌜the wind tunn𝔉el and now in the factory the team are just finishing off getting the car ready. 

“We’ll find🐷 out in a few weeks’ time how much it’s all paid off.”
