Brazilian GP: Sprint sees Williams Racing struggle
By Williams Racing
November 13 2022
The Sprint for the 2022 Brazilian GP would see the Williams Racing Team come away with just about the worst result imagineable with Alex Albon retiring and Nicholas Latifi finishing 19th and last. Both drivers would struggle with various issues aside from the damage from debris that would see Alex retire. Based off the Sprint performance Sunday's race is going to be a difficult few hours unless the team can do something overnight to recover.

Nicholas Latifi:
"It was a very lonely afternoon out there. We found some damage on
the rear of the car after FP2, which we fixed before the sprint race.
However, after two or three laps the car began to feel difficult again.
I ran over some debris as well, which caused some significant damage to
the floor." |

Alex Albon:
"I don’t know what happened to be honest, but I think it was the
debris caused by Fernando and Ocon on the main straight. Ultimately,
from Withe start it was not good with low grip and front locking every
corner for the first laps, so we really need to have a good look at the
car overnight." |

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance:
"The Sprint race was very difficult for both drivers. Alex had a
poor start but was starting to get things back under control and was
catching the group in front when he ran over some debris, which caused
him to retire. Nicholas’s car needed a bit of work to fix an issue from
FP2 and his team did a good job to get the car ready. Unfortunately, he
struggled for pace throughout the Sprint race and we need to see if
there is anything we can do to recover some of this for tomorrow." |
