Coming off the disappointment of the recent Canadian GP the Williams Racing Team returns to Europe for the first of three back to back races, the 2024 Spanish GP. For Williams, like everyother team, the Barcelona track is one they are all very familiar with so it will be a big test as to how the FW46 performs. In 2023 the FW45 struggled at this track but with the FW46 it is hoped that the team will see an improvement. For Both Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant they are keen to return to a track they both know well and are hopeful of a successful event as they continue their 2024 season.
Sven Smeets, Sporting Director
We are looking forward to returning to Barcelona. It’s a well-known
track for all the teams and drivers and there is always a great
atmosphere with the tens of thousands of Spanish fans.
We will be interested to see how the FW46 performs with its different
characteristics, as last year the FW45 struggled at this track.
The weather forecast seems nice and sunny for Friday and Saturday but
with a risk of showers when the race starts on Sunday, which could make
it very interesting.
Logan Sargeant:
Heading back into the European leg of the season, I'm looking forward to
racing at a track we all know well in Barcelona. It's an exciting
circuit to drive, although tends to be harsh on the tyres, so it will be
interesting to see how the race unfolds. I'm hoping for a positive
weekend in Spain.
Alex Albon:
As we kick off the start of the triple header in Barcelona, it’s always
a familiar feeling driving this circuit as we’ve all done a million laps
around it from a very young age, always being an enjoyable track to
drive with its mix of high- and low-speed corners. Obviously, our result
last weekend wasn’t what we hoped for, so we’ll be looking to come back
strong and see what opportunities arise for us as a team. The weather is
looking pretty consistent, so let’s see how the FW46 performs with its
more versatile characteristics.
