Formula 1 teams have just two weeks left to prepare for the new season. While three test days are scheduled next week in Bahrain, Williams were already testing at the Silverstone circuit in a filming day.

Both Alexander Albon and Logan Sargeant got a chance to get used to the car in England. On social media, Williams showed some footage of how they drove on the track, giving the drivers a first impression of their car.

Many changes at Williams

Williams are facing several changes within the team this season. For instance, they said goodbye to Nicholas Latifi at the end of last year and found a replacement with Logan Sargeant. The American will make his race debut in Bahrain early next month.

They have also appointed James Vowles as the new team boss after Jost Capito decided to part ways. Vowles must ensure that Williams stay away from the bottom positions in the coming years.
