Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya believes that Williams will achieve a “big leap” in the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix thanks to the update they are preparing. This improvement comes after a difficult weekend at the Spanish Grand Prix, where driver Carlos Sainz was forced to retire and his teammate Alexander Albon finished in 15th place.
Currently, Williams is in ninth position in the constructors’ championship with only 11 points, ahead of only Aston Martin and Cadillac. Montoya has expressed optimistic expectations about the new specification of the car, which he and the team see as a crucial step for improving their performance. “I want to see what Williams brings,” Montoya commented during the post-race broadcast on F1 TV.
The team’s director, James Vowles, has characterized this update as a “B-spec car” intended for the Baku circuit. In a previous interview, Vowles highlighted that the new specification includes a completely renewed chassis and other components.
Montoya is confident that the new package will not only improve the vehicle’s performance but will also serve to test the team’s processes and systems. “We need to demonstrate that we can engineer quality and build a car effectively during the season,” Vowles added, with the aim of managing the transformation of Williams into a competitive team.
