Canadian GP: Tricky race for Williams Racing
By Williams Racing
June 20 2022
In what was described by Alex Albon as a tricky race the Williams Racing Team would see their drivers Alex Albon and Nicholas Latifi finish in 13th and 16th positions. In what was a race that saw both drivers struggle for pace they were not able to challenge for points. Alex would run just outside the top ten for most of the race but would suufer from the timing of Virtual Safety Cars. Despite this is fought to the end while for Nicholas he came away enjoying his home race experience but not the race itself. The team really does need to find pace from the FW44 especially as the next race is the teams home race in Britain.

Nicholas Latifi:
"he overall experience of the weekend has been pretty special. It’s
great to finally have my first home race and the support I felt from my
family, friends and all the fans in the grandstands was amazing. In
terms of on track, we were lacking a lot of pace and we need to try to
understand why in both high and low fuel. We have two weeks now to try
and do a bit of analysis before heading to Silverstone. Regardless of
the result, this weekend has been one to remember." |

Alex Albon:
"Going into this weekend, we knew this track was going to be
difficult and despite our good qualifying, in the first 3-4 laps I could
tell it was going to be a struggle. I think P13 was all we could have
achieved today so at face value; I am quite happy with it. Going into
the next stint of races, hopefully we can make these upgrades and
continue to improve on this." |

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance:
"It was
always going to be difficult to hang on to what we learnt yesterday, and
we didn’t have the pace to hold off the quicker cars that started behind
us. However, we did have a good race with Gasly and Norris and we were
close to Vettel and Ricciardo at the end too. Like last weekend, the
timing of the virtual safety car was not good for Alex, but he kept his
head down and made the best of it.
Similar to Alex, Nicholas struggled to find pace during the race despite
his best efforts. As a team it was great to be a part of Nicholas’ first
home race and experience the support from the fans. We needed a little
more basic car pace to be able to really race for points and everyone in
Grove is working very hard to deliver that to the track as soon as
possible." |
