Williams is heading into the new Formula 1 season without a technical director. The British team’s boss Jost Capito was ousted over the winter and replaced with former Mercedes strategy boss James Vowles. And new boss Vowles is quoted by French magazine Auto Hebdo as explaining that Frenchman Demaison will not be replaced for now. “We are not going to rush to make a decision,” Vowles said. However, Vowles also said the Oxfordshire based team has launched, tested and this weekend will successfully race its new 2023 car without a technical boss. “There is a strong organisation in place and it operates without a technical director as we speak today,” he said.
