NASIR IS DUSTING OFF HIS FEZ AND THE HOST IS ALREADY IN “ALONSO IS BACK” MODE WHILST HE PREPARES FOR ANOTHER LCH VICTORY! AND HERE ARE SOME WORDS FROM WILLIAMS RACING…DAVE ROBSON

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: The season is progressing well, and we now have a standalone race in Turkey before we head to the Middle East to complete the season with the final triple-header. The circuit at Istanbul has one of the best layouts of the circuits added to the calendar in the last 20 years. Like Imola, it runs anticlockwise and uses elevation changes to enhance the challenge and spectacle. The famous Turn 8 is the signature corner on the circuit and will subject the cars and drivers to large lateral forces for a sustained period, adding to the physical challenge.

We return to the normal weekend format for this event, which will give us a chance to explore more setup options than we were able to do in Imola. Work will be centred around understanding the track surface and the tyre behaviour and this will enable us to pick a set-up that sensibly balances the qualifying and race requirements. Over recent weeks we have experimented with this trade and were able to make some good progress in both Portugal and Imola. George and Nicholas both showed good pace during the race in Imola and but for a small error, we would’ve finished inside the top 10. Although frustrating to have missed out, we are pleased that we were able to get ourselves into that position, and we hope we can consolidate it here in Turkey
