Can Vowles use Mercedes experience to drive Williams to success?

Williams rose to seventh in the Constructors' standings in its first season under Vowles' leadership, can further improvement be made this season?

05 February 2024

James Vowles enters his second season as Williams Team Principal having made his mark in year one. The former Mercedes Strategy Director made instant changes at the Grove-based outfit and through Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant - primarily the former - Williams rose to seventh in the Constructors' standings with a number of standout results. Those performances have raised Albon's stock and, according to RacingNews365 readers, the Thai-Briton is the favourite to succeed Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes once he makes his move to Ferrari. Ahead of the team's season launch, we ask you, the fans, whether you believe Williams has what it takes to return to podium contention under Vowles' leadership. Let us know what you think by voting in the poll below and commenting underneath the article.
