In an exciting development for the Williams Racing team, a notable aerodynamic upgrade for their FW46 car was rolled out at Zandvoort during the last race. This upgrade marks a significant step forward, with further enhancements scheduled for the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix.
Williams' lead driver, Alex Albon, provided clarity on the significance of these upgrades by stating, "The first part is about load and the second part is about balance." This encapsulates the dual focus of their strategy—enhancing performance and improving handling.
The first segment of this upgrade has introduced an entirely new floor design, which has been referenced as being tailored to optimize the airflow around a newly designed bodywork that includes the front sidepod and radiator inlet. Additionally, Williams has re-engineered the roll hoop, a change that primarily targets weight reduction.
