Williams said they still have a long way to go to return to the top of Formula 1 as they launched their new car at Silverstone on Tuesday. The multiple champions finished eighth last season, the first time for three years the team has not been last. New rules have been introduced in F1 this year to make the field more competitive. “To get the team back to where we want to be, from where it was, is a long way,” said team principal Jost Capito. “Compared to the top teams, we still were lacking,” Capito said. “It feels like [I’ve had] a year out, a year itching to get going,” Albon said.
