After several seasons that saw the Williams team struggle to produce a competitive performance Claire Williams is again confident that 2014 has seen the team start to turn things around as they move back to being one of the top teams in Formula One again.

In the last series of races in 2014, in particular the Austrian GP, the Williams team has seen their drivers produce improving results. In Austria the team took a one-two in qualifying followed up by Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa finishing third and fourth in the race. This has seen the Williams team achieve its best points result from a single race since 2010.

This is a marked changed from 2013 where the Williams team could only manage  just five points from a ninth-place finish. This was the worst season from the team in its history, a history that has seen it achieve both drivers and constructors championship victories.

2014 has seen the team improve over the results of previous years but for Claire Williams it wasn’t just a case those whop have joined the team recently changing the fortunes of the team.

Claire said: "It's been a combination of factors.

"We had a great team before those guys came in, but it was a case of augmenting that with more support at a senior level.

"Having Pat, Rob, Jakob and a number of other guys behind the scenes as well who we brought in, supporting the talent we have, has been a game-changer for us," added Williams.

"It's all about momentum as well, and with team morale at a really high level now, it all goes to build to your position, and that is where we are as a team," she explained.

"There is so much positive momentum. We have to embrace that, capitalise on it so we make the most of it for the rest of the season.

"Everyone believes this team can get back to the top, and you have to believe in that in order to do it."
