Williams F1 car is still losing performance for cooling issues

Williams Boss James Walls has stated that his team is still pursuing a permanent solution for its cooling issues as its temporary improvement is performing valuable in the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Both Alex albon And Carlos Sainz Most especially in Spain, Canada and Austria regularly suffer from engine overheating issues in recent races, resulting in forced to retire in Montreal and Spielberg. Sainz has also faced overheating on the break.

Albon’s retirement in Austria has particularly hurt Williams to be hurt by the retirement of Albon as it has closed its growth tap for 2025 before its nearest midfield rivals, so it depends on the conclusion of the clean race weekend to protect its decreasing edge against a resurrection. Save Among others.

Walls says that the team includes the issue for now, but its fix means leaving the car’s time at the table.

“We are clearly interrupted by this cooling issue that is for some races this year, but perhaps more in the retirement of Austria when we were walking in a very strong position,” the Walls said.

“We worked a lot in FP1 (in silverstone), with a separate program for most cars to go to the top, and we are doing something different between Alex and Carlos.

“We have solutions that means we can get a car through the race, but it is at the cost of performance. Ideally, what we are seeing is of the controls that allow us to ensure that we are not throwing anything in terms of performance, and the team is working diligently as we speak.”

Although the walls did not go into nuances, cool the inlets that are bigger than necessary, come with a drag penalty. Break duct and winglet sizes at both front and back corners have also become an area of acute aerodynamic growth, as they help control the wake coming from the tires.

Williams will bring a slight upgradation to the next week’s Belgium Grand Prix, with Walls hope that even a small boost will help the British squad gain some momentum in a stressful midfield fight against better competition.

He said, “Now we have a small update in the spa, what we really have to do, although make sure that we are available to the performance of the car that we are available to,” he said.

“There are still points that we can score between here by the end of the year, making sure that we execute the weekend cleanly and take every opportunity that comes towards us.

“We have really having many good races for us, and it is about distributing the result that is in the car.”
