James Vowles explica por que a Williams não pode corrigir imediatamente o problema de peso do FW48

O chefe da equipe Williams, James Vowles, confirmou que o trabalho de engenharia para reduzir o peso do FW48 está concluído. No entanto, as restrições do teto orçamentário impedem a equipe de introduzir todas as correções de uma só vez.

As soluções existem no papel, mas devem ser implementadas gradualmente. Vowles afirmou que a equipe de design terminou o trabalho necessário para levar o carro abaixo do limite de peso. A produção de novas peças é limitada por regras financeiras que tornam caro demais descartar os componentes existentes imediatamente.
