James Vowles, director of the Williams team, has expressed his support for the Madrid Grand Prix, which recently held its first edition. Despite the challenges presented by an inaugural event, Vowles has praised the organizers of the race held at the new Madring circuit.
In a recent episode of the “The Vowles Verdict” program, Vowles stated that, despite the typical complications of a new street circuit, the event went off without significant incidents. “Congratulations to the organizers, as it was not a chaotic event,” he stated. Additionally, he highlighted the convenience of the location, just half an hour from the city center, making access easier for fans.
However, not everything was positive. Vowles acknowledged the criticisms regarding the layout, which had few opportunities for overtaking, an aspect that may need improvements for future editions. “The track was technical and posed a challenge for the drivers, but that also affected the spectacle,” he added.
The Williams director admitted that the team was prepared for a difficult race, a fact that was reflected in the competition, where the lack of performance of the car has been a concern. Vowles mentioned the tire wear issues, especially with the softer compounds, while the hard tires proved effective throughout the race.
In conclusion, Vowles showed cautious optimism regarding the future of the Madrid Grand Prix, hoping that the organizers work to improve the spectacle in upcoming editions. This debut has left good prospects for what could become a key event within the Formula 1 calendar.
