Williams is set to hand both its Formula 1 drivers a “powerful” upgrade at the British Grand Prix after carrying out extensive evalu♔🎶ations of the package.

The British outfit has been alternating the update across its cars at the opening three rounds of the season, with George Russell using tꦏhe developments on his car during last weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

Russell starred in qualifying and was able to put his Williams 12th on the꧙ grid, ahead of Red Bull’s Alex Albon, before both Williams drivers faded in the race amid its continued race-pace♛ struggles.

Speaking about Williams’ performance in Hungary, the team’s head of vehicle performance Dave Robson expanded on the development plan, though he did not disclose exactly which area of the car it relat𓂃ed to.

"The cars are a little bit different - and with the media not being here or the photographers not 🍌being here, not everyone has picked it up," Robson explained.

"We've had an upgradeꦓ that has been alternating on one car and then the other for the last couple🍎 of races, as we've only had one set.

"George has got that this week an💫d I think that probably played the part.

"It is quite powerful here, so probably 💮Ni🍸cholas was always going to find it a little bit harder here relative to George.

"That is why he felt the need to really go for broke in a Q2 lap, but it didn't quite pay ꦑoff.”

While Robson did not put an exact number on how much performance the upgrade will provide, he confirmed Williams is planning to run the development☂s on both cars at the upcoming double-header at Silverstone.

"They have been alternating it,” he said. “We had wet qua🐻lifying [in Austria] so it is hard to say, but I think that ha꧑ving both experienced it on and off, they are very convinced that it is a clear advantage.

"So they will both be furnished with it in the next race at 𝓰Silverstone. But I couldn't put a number on it."
