The Atlassian Williams Racing Team would complete the final day of F1 Pre-season testing in Bahrain with Alex Albon carrying out the driving duties. The track conditions, in particular the wind, made running tricky in the morning but overall the team was able to complete work over a range of simulations with the team carrying out performance runs in the later stages of the day. For Alex he would come away from the day feeling positive but did acknowledge that there is still areas of the car that need work in order to find extra time. Next stop is Melbourne for the 2025 Australian GP.

Alex Albon:
"Day three done with! It was a tricky day - I don’t know what it was
like for the other drivers, but the morning was really difficult with
the wind, and we didn’t really get much of a rhythm. We had a couple of
issues on the car which delayed things as well, so we were struggling a
little bit to get going.
Finally, we got a good long run in and
a decent lowish performance run style, ending the day with some more
long runs. So all in all, I’m positive. I do think we need to look at
some data with a couple of areas we need to focus on. The good thing is,
we know where the lap time is and I don’t think it’s that hard to
achieve, so we’ll do some work around that and get ready for Melbourne!"
Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance:
"Alex was
back in the car for the final day of winter testing. Conditions were
more challenging today with the strong gusts making testing more
difficult. However, we were still able to complete some useful work
across a range of fuel loads. In preparation for the season ahead, we
scanned a range of car configurations and tyre compounds.
Once
again, the FW47 was mostly reliable with only a few minor issues
affecting the programme. This puts us in a good place for the opening
races of the season."
