Williams has introduced a series of upgrades for the British GP, reminiscent of the Red Bull Racing concept. Alexander Albon will be looking for Q2 in qualifying thanks to the upgrades.
The Williams team has not done well in recent years. The dominant years and even seasons as a very stable average team ended some time ago and now it is a tough fight for the points every year. Even with the new rules for 2022, Williams has not made much progress.
With the updates introduced for Silverstone, the team wants to change that, however. Alexander Albon expects a strong qualifying result thanks to the new updates.
"If we can balance the car correctly and build confidence in it, it's a good result. Of course, if you look at the numbers when it comes to positioning, Q2 should be a clear goal for us," the driver revealed to Motorsportweek. com.
It was difficult to gather enough data on the new parts on Friday due to rain during the first free practice session. As a result, Albon was not able to test the modified car much on the track, but the times he was on it were positive for the Thai.
"Every time I did a lap, the car felt strong. This is good news, because sometimes an upgrade needs a big change in setup," he finished.
