Williams F1 needs to deliver at the British GP

While the Williams Formula 1 team is going to mark its 800 race start in F1 at Silverstone, the event is also a home race for the team. In the hands of Alex Albon, the car has looked very competitive in recent races and the team is going to do everything in its power to achieve at least a Top 10 finish in front of home fans.

Moreover, a strong result at Silverstone would also help them further increase the gap between itself and AlphaTauri which is plumb last. The Red Bull sister team has so far managed only 2 points in the 2023 season and Silverstone’s characteristic could help Williams in finishing in the points-scoring positions.

The trick to finishing in the Top 10 would be to have as high a grid spot as possible for the British Grand Prix. The qualifying event of the race is going to prove extremely crucial for Logan Sargeant and Alex Albon. Taking everything into consideration, where do you see the team finishing at the end of the race?
