Rob Smedley has said that Williams' appointment of former Ferrari tyre specialist Antonio Spagnolo has had an instant impact.
Smedley, himself a former Ferrari man, admitted that Williams have struggled with tyres so far this year, but Spagnolo has instantly got to work to help remedy the problem.
"It's an area where we were deficient, if you like," Smedley told Autosport. "We've already created a group around Antonio, and he's come in, he's got his own ideas, he's an extremely clever guy."
"He's definitely helping us already with what we've been able to do from Friday to Saturday, to find our feet and get ourselves back into what I think is a reasonable position for this year's Williams," he added. "He is playing an integral part in just helping us understand tyres."
