A Williams már többet törődik 2026-tal, mint az idei F1-es autóval
James Vowles, the newly appointed team principal of Williams in Formula 1, is already planning for the coming years. He has previously mentioned that it will take three to five years to bring the infrastructure of Williams to the necessary level and have everything in place to do serious work, so they are not currently focused on short-term revival. Despite this, they have already scored 21 points this year with Alexander Albon, their best performance in recent years, and have a realistic chance of finishing seventh in the constructors’ championship, surpassing three teams – if they succeed, it will be their best result since 2017. However, Vowles is not concerned with this. His task is to put the legendary Grove-based team on a sustainable upward trajectory, and he is willing to sacrifice short-term success for this. The focus is already on 2024 and even beyond, with part of the focus set on 2025 and 2026. Vowles believes that there may be fluctuations in performance in the coming years, but his aim is to have the team fighting for higher positions. This cannot be achieved by constantly improving what they have at the moment, but by looking towards the future, even if it comes at a cost. As for the drivers, Alexander Albon’s value has increased significantly during his time with Williams, and several teams are interested in him. Logan Sargeant’s position as a Williams junior driver appears to be secure at the moment despite criticism.
