Williams is behind schedule with the FW41. According to Motorsport Italy, the car has not yet come through the crash test which means the British team needs to hurry up. The winter tests in Spain will start on February 26th.

A test for Christmas failed. The stricter rules, partly due to the Halo and a few aerodynamic adjustments, ensure that the engineers have to work even harder this year.

There are also positive rumours. Red Bull Racing is far ahead with the RB14. They are ahead of their schedule, which is significantly better than last year, where they started with a backlog because the data in the wind tunnel did not match those on the track in Barcelona during the winter tests.
