Williams found some answers

Williams celebrated the victory at the Spanish Grand Prix last year, and at the end of the year they also tested the so-called Coanda exhaust, which is why they expected success this season. The team from Grove, of course, cannot be satisfied after the first two races, as their results are well below expectations. Nonetheless, technical director Mike Coughlan believes in the team and the exhaust area on the race car: “In 2012, we didn’t use the Coanda exhaust, we only tested it in Brazil. We already saw then that the system has potential, but a lot of work needs to be done on it. "

Recall that the biggest problem with Coanda exhaust is that performance cannot be seen and measured other than simulated with state-of-the-art simulation computers, Coughlan explains: and lower flow at higher race car speeds. Sometimes we can simulate some pressure, which we don't get on the track, but we can still see some progress, which will be visible from race to race. "

Despite some good predictions of the existing system, Mike is already announcing a more radical approach to the development of the car: “We need to take a different step forward, moving away from the current platform. Namely, the racer may have a little pressure force, which you then increase, but he still does not feel like he has it. That is why it is necessary to create a different platform that will give the racer confidence in the car and that will give him enough pressure in the corners. ” do our best to prepare as best we can for the points catch: "I believe we can join the top four teams in the fight for the top spots, but we still have a lot of work to do."
