Sainz wants to try "a lot with my FW47" at Spielberg

Ahead of this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, Williams driver Carlos Sainz has revealed that there is "a lot I still want to try with" his Williams F1 car, the FW47.

Following a series of difficult seasons in recent years, Williams currently sits fifth in the Constructors’ Championship with 55 points – more points than the previous three seasons combined.

However, the Grove-based outfit has endured two difficult races in recent weeks. The Spanish Grand Prix saw Williams fail to finish in the point-scoring zone while it scored a single championship unit last time out at Montreal courtesy of Carlos Sainz's tenth-place finish.

Ahead of this weekend's Spielberg round, the Spaniard has revealed that there is "a lot I still want to try with" his Williams F1 car, the FW47.

"I’m looking forward to Austria for what will be the start of our next double-header. With Austria being a Sprint event last year, we had to really hit the ground running.

"However, this year I’m looking forward to having the Free Practice sessions since there is a lot I still want to try with my FW47. This track could potentially suit our car, so we’ll do our best to deliver a strong weekend for the team and our fans!

His team-mate Alex Albon has revealed that Williams have learned a lot from recent races, and he hopes that the Grove-based outfit will return to its fine from at Spielberg.

"I'm excited to get back into the European leg of the season at a track that should suit the FW47 well. We've brought some good learnings from recent races and the team is working well together, which will hopefully help us this weekend.

"Our focus is to get back to a good run of form with some strong points in Austria," concluded the Thai driver.
