Williams will trial an updated aero package on Alex Albon's F1 car at Silverstone this weekend.
The changes to the FW44 include a revised floor and bodywork, which the team hopes will enact a more concerted effort to challenge for the lower reaches of the points at Silverstone.
"The bodywork and floor form the basis of the upgrade and are intended to efficiently increase the downforce of the car. "With next week’s race in Austria being a sprint event, we will be looking to get as much learning done this weekend as possible."With a vast collection of fast corners, Silverstone is expected to be one of the biggest showcases of the 2022 generation of F1 cars yet, owing to the increased downforce at high speeds.
"If you put the aero balance up, probably where you'd ideally like it for the high speed corners, you then run into some problems on the exit of those low-speed corners," he said.
