“I still want to believe we can beat Mercedes, says Symonds Reuters. I'm not an optimistic person, but I know the improvements to the car are better than what we did last year.

I must say that I am rather satisfied with the progress on paper made with the new car. » Progress to be confirmed on track from February 22, the date of the start of pre-season testing on the Catalan track in Barcelona.

Williams Martini Racing, which has renewed its confidence in Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa this year, will also present his FW38 adorned with its 2016 livery on the same day.
