James Vowels, Williams Principal Team, In a press conference held at Williams hospitality this Friday morning, he revealed the reasons why he was chosen Franco Colapinto to replace Sergeant and not in German or Lawson to compete in the final nine races of the year in F1.
With that explanation, Vowels It is difficult to analyze the situation Mick Schumacher that’s for sure “He’s not a special pilot” and he prefers to bet on giving a chance to one of the talents from the Williams young drivers academy.
With the promotion of Colapinto, Williams made sure to make a good ‘check’, always necessary for any company like Grove’s, so that the Williams junior academy had a driver promoted to F1. Besides, Franco arrives with more financial backing than Mick Schumacher who doesn’t have as much help as the Argentine.. However, Vowles did not discuss this and only referred to the choice of drivers as an important issue because of what it means to bet on his youth team and because he considers that Mick Schumacher is not the future.
“There are three options on the table as many of you already know. They are Liam Lawson (on possible loan), Mick Schumacher and Franco Colapinto. As for Lawson, his contractual position with Red Bull will not work with us at Williams. It turned out to be a difficult choice. Mick has improved since he was at Haas, no doubt. He is a competent driver and I know he has time. He has done an incredible job at Alpine, McLaren and Mercedes (reserve driver). Mick was good, but he wasn’t special.”argument.
“I believe in what Williams believes in and Williams’ core values. Williams always invests in new generations of drivers and youth. And I was talking about investing in Williams’ future. AND Williams’ future isn’t investing in the past, it’s investing in the talent that allows us to grow as individuals. This is an investment in an academy that you will see advertised in the next six weeks or so, how we fill that academy and the amount of money we dedicate to it. and when “You invest such an amount in an academy, you have to do what you say”assured about the election of Franco Colapinto.
The decision to put Logan down: “He’s reached his limit”
“No one wants to change drivers in the middle of the season. It’s horrible and very difficult for the driver. I said that at the end of last season Logan Sargeant was tenth behind Alex Albon, getting closer and closer to him, it’s good to see the his If that development continues, we have a strong driver. But we have enough experience to know that he has reached his limit and that it would be unfair for him to continue.“said Vowles about the decision to drop Logan Sargeant mid-course after his serious accident at Zandvoort, another for his many list.
“You just have to see his face when he got out of the car, he gave everything and it wasn’t enough. “It is clear to everyone and moreover, the relationship with Logan will be more complicated in the last nine races of the year, because he already knows what the future holds for him and it is not in Formula 1. the best for both parties .” , he concluded.
