Williams can only look across at McLaren with envy, as the Woking-based squad have rejoined the battle at the front of Formula 1...
Williams is facing a “big, big challenge” to achieve what McLaren has done and climb back to the front of F1 where the Grove-based squad once dominated.
It led to the Williams family selling their beloved team to US investment company Dorilton Capital in 2020, with several steps made in the years since to start the rebuilding process.Thrust into his first team boss role, Vowles has begun the process of identifying the team’s weaknesses in personnel and infrastructure and has set about improving them.
With McLaren now in rude health, financially as well as sponsorship and performance-wise, and having managed to reach the peak of F1 once again, Boutsen believes Williams faces a long trek to achieve the same. “Now they’re in a better position, but it required a lot of changes inside the team – a lot of investment, capital investment, and development.
“When I see the Williams car, when I see the camera from the cockpit, I say ‘Oh, my God, guys, it’s not nice’.”Before his first year at Williams had come to an end, Vowles had landed a major coup as he snaffled Pat Fry away from Alpine to join Grove as chief technical officer. Fry then swapped to Renault/Alpine, helping them climb up to fourth in the championship by the end of 2022. As both Vowles and Fry have knowledge of what a leading team needs in order to succeed, Vowles shared what Fry has uncovered.
“All of these are sort of global questions, long-term and midterm questions that we’re dealing with. His input is invaluable and it’s not what we do necessarily short term – how we bring performance to Imola, for example, but more around how we create structures, processes, and systems that allow us to get more and more performance for every hour that we’re working and that, in turn, have big impacts on what we do with the FW47, 48, and beyond.
