Williams says its 2023 car is 'philosophically an evolution' of last year's FW44, marked by some key differences F1
Williams’ new Formula 1 car, which is set to run for the first time next week, is an"evolution" of last year’s philosophy but will feature revised sidepods.The Grove-based squad is chasing improved fortunes in 2023 after it finished bottom of the constructors’ championship last season.
“It’s philosophically an evolution,” he said. “Obviously the regulation changes around the floor dominate some of it, and then I think the other thing that you’ll find that is most obvious is a bit of an update to the sidepod package, which is an evolution of what we did for the Silverstone upgrade package [in 2022].
“I can say that low speed front-locking was quite a big problem for us last year, and we're trying to get around that and understand why it was so difficult. So areas like that there's a common goal to improve the car.Robson says the team has spent a lot of time trying to find a better balance between its strength in high-speed/low downforce trim and what was required for low-speed performance.
