The Williams Formula 1 team has unveiled a series of promising upgrades, including changes to the sidepod design and a weight reduction program, that have yielded positive results on the track. However, a last-minute issue with the new floor at Zandvoort forced the team to start both cars at the back of the grid, effectively derailing their chances of a strong result. Despite this setback, the team remains optimistic about the potential of the upgrades and is committed to closing the gap to their competitors in the upcoming British GT races.
