Paddy Lowe on Williams' poor mentality
Williams' chief technical officer Paddy Lowe believes that he 'fell into a trap' by not coming to terms with the number of problems his team had.
Williams had a terrible season. They finished bottom of the constructor's championship due to many issues that they had with their car.
In an interview with Autosport, Paddy Lowe revealed that there was a problem with the mindset of the Williams team.
He said Williams needed to "get out of this mindset that there are just two or three things to fix and then everything will be OK, and we'll be winning races."
"It is a mindset that I think has been in Williams for a very long time," he said.
Paddy Lowe thinks the mindset needs to change if his team are to improve next season.
"The mindset we need is to say, 'Everything is available to be challenged and everything has to be done better every year', otherwise you're being left behind by a very strong set of competitors.
"You can't stand still in any area and this is a mentality that we need to adopt and we are adopting.
"That was not present before. Even I fell into that trap as a new fresh set of eyes to the team."
Williams will hope that this change in mindset will improve their performance and with two new drivers joining the team they will hope that they can drag themselves from the bottom of Formula 1.
