A revamped F1 car has left Williams wanting nothing other than boring practice sessions in this weekend's French GP. Here's why:
, and then the sprint format in Austria, has left it unable to run through the normal baseline checks it would normally do for a such a major car change.
"It would have been a pretty boring session, but we'd have collected the data, compared it to the simulations and then we would hopefully have been quite quickly up to speed with it. We didn't get a chance to do that. While the upgraded Williams has shown decent flashes of speed when it has been unleashed, and Albon nearly got through to Q3 at the Austrian GP, the team still is unsure about just how much of an improvement the new package has delivered."It's still hard to quantify," added Robson."Silverstone was difficult.
While that does not seem an ideal characteristic, Robson is far from alarmed and reckons it is just a consequence of a better performing car not being fully tuned at the moment. "It is designed to be better balanced. And I think it's showing signs of that, but there probably is still a bit more work we need to do on the mechanical side of things to optimise what we've now got aerodynamically," he said.
