Williams team principal James Vowles believes the production delays suffered by the Grove outfit over the winter and early stages of the 2026 Formula 1 season could ultimately prove to be "one of the best things" to happen to the team.
Speaking to a live audience at the Goodwood Festival of Speed during an episode of the Up To Speed podcast, Vowles opened up about the harsh realities of transforming the British squad. Addressing the team's current position - sitting eighth in the constructors' championship after the first nine rounds - Vowles detailed how a heavily disrupted winter severely compromised its early-season momentum.
