We are disappointed with our action, as we should have required racers to fight for higher places, not to descend in front of them. We should have acted better, so we were not up to the situation in the right way. Of course, we also apologize to the racers, and in the end this is the most we can do after what we have done. "

Claire therefore acknowledged the mistakes, on which, of course, they intend to learn a lot: “We admit mistakes and learn from them quickly. Malaysia was not our best race and we believe we will be better in the future. We work hard in all areas, analyze everything and, together with racers and engineers, come up with new solutions for the future, where we will no longer repeat past mistakes. "

In the end, Williams emphasized that they will continue to use team commands in the future, but not in this way. Of course, this will not be called team orders, but strategic decisions: “We are a racing team that has to make strategic decisions non-stop for the benefit of the championship. So our goal is to win as many points as possible for the team and the racer, who have to fight to the maximum on the track. "
