James Vowles explica por qué Williams no puede solucionar de inmediato el problema de peso del FW48

El jefe de equipo de Williams, James Vowles, confirmó que el trabajo de ingeniería para reducir el peso del FW48 ha concluido. Sin embargo, las restricciones del límite presupuestario impiden al equipo implementar todas las soluciones de una sola vez.

Las soluciones existen sobre el papel, pero deben implementarse de forma gradual. Vowles señaló que el equipo de diseño ha terminado el trabajo necesario para situar el coche por debajo del límite de peso. La producción de nuevas piezas está limitada por las reglas financieras, que hacen que sea demasiado costoso descartar los componentes existentes de inmediato.
