By moving from Mercedes to Williams, James Vowles is going from one end of the grid to another. And he has his ideas about what must change to bridge the gap. F1
has found itself pegged to the bottom of the constructors’ championship.
His job list is going to be large too; for he will need to get a restructured technical team in place to help drive its F1 challenger forward as fast as he can. As Vowles said: “If you asked me what are the front facing and most iconic brands of the sport, Williams is what comes to mind. Speaking about where he felt Williams was lacking at the moment, Vowles said: “What will definitely be wrong is when you're hurting, and when you've been punished and you've been pushed down as an organisation because you're suffering, it doesn't get any better year on year unless you get a change to what's going on - a change to the culture, a change to the methods and systems.
“But I'm one of a change, and clearly one individual won't make it. What's required is restrengthening the technical team, but also allowing those internally that are incredibly good to shine and prosper. Plus, Vowles was on board at Brackley during its difficult early days as British American Racing – which included long streaks without scoring any points in the early 2000s.
