Williams F1 Team: 5-Week Break for Performance Boost

0:00On March 24th, Williams Formula One team is making the most of a rare 5-week break in April, with no races on the calendar. Team Principal James Val says they'll use every hour to boost performance after a tough start to the season. Their main goal is shedding weight from the car, which has held them back so far. This gap comes right after this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, and before the Miami Grand Prix in early May. Officials cancelled the Bahrain and Saudi races for April, without replacements, giving the Grove Squad extra time to regroup. Val's amidst the team needs this pause badly, especially since they've only scored 2 points so far from Carlos Signs' 9th place finish in China. The early races left little time for deep analysis, so now they can dig into data and plan ahead. Preseason was rough, too, with delays keeping them out of the Barcelona Shakedown in January, though they made it back for February tests in Bahrain. Val's wants to strengthen key areas across the board during this window. The drivers will head to the UK for intensive simulator sessions nearly every day, helping refine setups and strategies.
