'The change in regulations offered us a slight headache. The new front bulkhead and nose geometry had much more of an impact than we had initially anticipated and the effect on the aero was profound. The team have worked hard on pulling back the deficit these regulations have made for us.'
After a strong 2014 the team has aims to continue improving in pursuit of podium finishes throughout the 2015 season.
'The more rule stability there is, the closer the field gets. I hope as a team we are more capable of maintaining the forward momentum to catch Mercedes, than the teams behind us are of catching us. It's not just about stable regulations but also about the team and every individual that works here moving forward and improving.'
Frank Williams, Team Principal concluded 'The team had a fantastic season last year, we are aiming to replicate this development over the winter and to start the 2015 season in a strong position. We have an enormously talented group of people here at Williams who want nothing more than the team to do well. This passion produced a great turn around in fortunes for the team in 2014 and everybody has worked tirelessly to continue that climb up the grid.'
'We have added a few more high profile names to accompany the incredibly supportive group of partners we have,' Frank Williams added. 'After a very strong first year with Mercedes we are looking to further develop the relationship as we look for more podiums in 2015. I feel this year will be equally as exciting as the last and look forward to seeing the car on the grid at the first race.' << Prev Page 2 of 2
