The second-chance evolution of a 2019 failure
The only way is up for Williams after a nightmarish 2019. Free from the pre-season delays that plagued the team last year, the FW43 has built on many of the problems that hampered its predecessor to create a more finely-optimised 2020 challenger
After lodging its worst-ever Formula 1 points haul in 2019, Williams enters the new decade with renewed focus and vigour. Additions to the technical team unite with a tweaked driver line-up for 2020, and the new Aquafresh livery adorning the FW43 certainly gives the team a fresher outlook.
This year should hopefully have none of the negative spirals surrounding the team that embroiled its pre-season last year. The car is on time, there have been no acrimonious departures of senior technical staff from the team, and the latter-season infighting between Williams and Robert Kubica is now off the menu.
