Will Williams end painful three-year wait?

Williams has not claimed a podium in Formula 1 in over three years, although the team enters the new season in a fascinating position. 

The Grove-based outfit's most recent podium came in the unusual 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, with George Russell finishing second. 

At a soaked Spa-Francorchamps, Russell qualified in second. Following a significant delay due to extreme weather, the first two laps were completed behind the safety car. 

A red flag was flown on the third lap, with no restart possible. It holds the record for the shortest race in F1 history. 

Since then, Williams has not been in a position to compete for a podium. 

However, that could change this year, with McLaren team principal Andrea Stella predicting Williams could challenge the top teams. 

Williams looked competitive in pre-season testing, to the extent that new signing Carlos Sainz set the fastest lap time across the three days of running in Bahrain.

On that basis, will Williams claim an F1 podium this year?
