Williams have been forced to cope with a huge amount of damage in the early rounds of the F1 2024 season.

The꧒ totℱal cost to the team is in excess of $2m, according to .

That is expend𝓰iture which must come out of Williams’ budge🍸t cap.

The budget for every team is $135m in 2024.

From that money, Williams and their rivals must pay for all parts on tℱheir cars, everythingไ required to run the car, team personnel, garages and spare items.

But the t🐼hree heavy c🅰rashes suffered across the first four rounds of the season will take a toll.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon’s crash in✤ Australia was the most no🐷table because they had no spare chassis.

Williams chose to withdraw his teammate Logan Sargeant, and let Albon drive his car inꦇ the grand pri🤡x.

Then in Japan, Sergeant crashed in practice before ♈Albon cra𓃲shed out of the race on the first lap in an incident involving Daniel Ricciardo.

The chassis from Albon’s car will be sent back to the HQ in the UK before being shipp𒁃ed to China, where the fifth round of the season will be staged in two weeks’ time.

Williams only possess two chassis. Theꦓ production of a spare has been delayed by the damage accrued this season.

Team principal James Vowles admitted many crucial part💛s have been destroyed: “Hopefully,💝 we can recycle some of those bits. But, no, they’re pretty much gone.”

He added about Albon’s wrecked car: “It loꦆoks like a little bit of damage again on the front-right.

“Complete coincidence, obviously.

“It𝓀 looks like it’s repairable to me. But that was through images taken,.

“The last two weeks have been tough.

“I think any team to have three major acꦇcidents where you’ve pretty much taken out all equipmen✃t on the car is enormous.

“Taking that across a season, you can deal with it. Taking it across just a few races is difficult. The impact of it will be w🅘hat you expect.

“We’re maki🔯ng spares as quickly as possible in the background but, ultimately, performance will have an impact on it.

“We can’t bring as many updates. The updates✨ that were on the car unfortun🧸ately are broken, so we’ve got to build those stocks back up and get going again.”
