Former Grand Prix driver Alex Wurz is confident that Williams can turn its lowly results around. The British outfit has struggled this season so far, currently sitting bottom of the constructor's standings with four points, picked up by Lance Stroll in Azerbaijan.
Stroll's teammate Sergey Sirotkin is one of only two drivers who has not scored a point this year as of yet. With the squad struggling towards the back of the field, advisor Wurz thinks that the Grove-based team will find a way to come back with stronger results.
At the end of the season, Martini will part ways with Williams, who has been its title sponsor since the 2014 season. Since then, the cars have been painted in an iconic white colour, with red and blue Martini stripes running through the livery, and provided the team with a healthy sum of money. However, Wurz says that Williams fans shouldn't worry about difficulty finding a replacement.
"The turnaround will come. There are some contacts and prospects," Wurz said. "We will be able to replace Martini. The future of the team is not in danger. I've always been sceptical about technical advances during a season, but we've found solutions that should work by the summer," Wurz added.
For the last few years they have had ability to attract and retain talented drivers, sufficient funds, sponsorship, acquired technical staff from other teams. However, they have been on a downward spiral for the last two years. The problem is not money. Obviously, I don't know all the issues, but I tend to think that poor management has been one of the bigger problems. Running the team the way a private equity group runs a recently
