“The circuit should not normally suit us, with these low speeds. » The explanations of Felipe Massa, before heading to the Hungaroring this weekend, could seem unencouraging for the team Williams, which has already been in difficulty on slow tracks, notably this season in Monaco.

But optimism seems to be in order in the British clan. “We have significantly improved the car in the last few races with the developments we have introduced so we should have a competitive weekend. » specifies the 2008 world vice-champion, joined in this sense by his teammate Valtteri Bottas.

“The circuit is very different from the last ones visited, as it is much narrower with more slow corners, but our development was focused on this type of track and on generating better downforce. We want to continue the good momentum we have built. » concludes the Finn.

During the last meeting at Silverstone in Great Britain, the Williams had an excellent start to the race, taking control of the Grand Prix against the Mercedes de Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, before downshifting with the arrival of rain.
