Williams FW48

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

James Vowles, Team Principal: wrote:I also want to say well done to the team. If you look at our car today, you'll notice significant differences in the rear wing area. That was work that was reacted to very quickly and delivered within around 18 hours. And that's exceptional, from aero development, stress work, production to on car. It just shows a willingness to find every millisecond and we will keep hunting it every week.
Reading this got me looking at pictures again, as yesterday I was disapointed that Williams was the only team but maybe AM that didn't get any new winglet in rear wing actuator area. But today, we had a big and complex one. It seems that they overlooked that detail, and only realised it when they saw competitors using it. Than fastracked it throu R&D and manufacturing to make it the track by today.

They should be ashamed of themselves for not discovering it, instead of being proud of an overnight hack job.

All teams are looking for gains in all areas within time and budget. It's the sole focus of F1. You don't personally like the solution you're seeing, but saying that a team should be ashamed of doing their job is out of context.

The team are not spotting these little opportunities! They are sleeping!
