Williams, keep moving forward while waiting for the third chassis

By pinning his car against the wall in Free Practice 1, Alexander Albon sowed confusion at Williams. For not having brought a spare chassis for the start of the season, the British team had to continue the weekend with only one car, that of Logan Sargeant...which his teammate inherited. A choice not illogical, but not profitable, since the Thai did not score any points (11th). Analysis of a unique situation of its kind in the XNUMXst century.

Why Williams Did she only field one car in Melbourne?

To understand why only 19 cars lined up on the grid on Sunday, with Logan sargeant in civilian clothes in the Williams garage, we have to go back to the first free practice session. After 40m

A crazy thing all the same, this story (it's a shame that the complexity/time of manufacturing a chassis is not specified)?!? Inevitably, as a pilot (this famous sword of Damocles mentioned in the article), it gives you food for thought before going all out. This shows that WILLIAMS still has work to do before returning to some semblance of what they once were...
