‘Mood has lifted’ at Williams in Bahrain – Vowles

Williams Team Principal James Vowles noted a significant improvement in team morale at the Bahrain pre-season test. After missing the Barcelona Shakedown due to FW48 programme delays, the team successfully debuted their car and saw both Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon complete faultless runs. Vowles expressed confidence in catching up on lost time during the six-day Bahrain session, despite a "tough winter." He highlighted positive correlation data from the new car's limited running, suggesting good progress towards Melbourne despite the initial setbacks.
