James Valeys, Director of Carlos Science: “My goal is not that Williams win the F-1 title, but several” | Formula 1 | Sport
The statement James Fawls, Williams Director, Base Formula 1 It is an overwhelming as a challenge in front of them. “What you get in a concrete race depends on the investment that I have made between two and five years. Most of the teams have been besieged in the short term. Since 2023, Williams, Titan in the 1980s and 1990s – was new builders and seven experimental titles – has been going on for decades in the tail and that it was descending this week in Montemso, for the great prize race in Spain.
Since Claire Williams, the daughter of Grove founder, a shed to Dorilton Capital in 2020, the structural shift was a priority, although the sporting return was still suspended. In the midst of that trip, the fragrance is the visual face of change: the training engineer, the strategy of the profession, and now responsible for designing a project will not be measured in instant points or platform, although the improvement in the past exercise is clear: the formation at the construction table ended in 2024 and now it is going fifth. In this restoration of glory accompanying him Carlos Science, who has become a priority When Madrid was free with a view of this tournament, after Ferrari Lewis Hamilton.
“This year’s car is just another step towards our goal. We do not focus on it in this way. What we have done is to solve problems, improve operations and prepare people to think in the long run. There is nothing great in this car, but we send us signs that we are in the right direction.” The previous statement is so strong that it scares.

This is the last of the most obvious indicators on the new Williams Liberto: “We have not yet followed in the main performance indicators (the main performance indicators) that we can surpass. But you see the dynamics in which we are. And most importantly, I have the total support for investors to think about it. My goal is not to win the F-1 title, but several.”
Changes on the path are not seen immediately, but the foundations are laid. Development systems, internal structures, data manufacture and analysis. “There are very essential things that we had to straighten. Some tools were not at the level. But all of this takes time,” confirms both the cause, which is called the Sainz Followers: “The 2026 car will not win racing.” The dislocation of the defect, who wants to approach the Spaniards, can do this next week in Madring, where he will roll a real car.
