Williams says it is a 'nice surprise' to start the 2023 F1 season with the second-most improved car on the grid.
Williams could still finish at the bottom in 2023, but its early pace looked promising, especially for a team that has operated without a technical director or head of aerodynamics since December following the departure of FX Demaison and David Wheater.
"Bahrain was generally a bit of a surprise. [Jeddah], thinking that the circuit here would suit us a bit more, it's probably slightly less of a surprise. The Grove team's 2022 car lacked downforce, but its inherent low-drag characteristic allowed it to flourish at high-speed, low-downforce circuits, with Albon stand-in Nyck de Vries' ninth place at Monza a particular highlight.
"Throughout last year and into this year we've worked on those, and I think they probably yielded a reasonable step up in performance.
