James Vowles says the Williams Formula 1 team will have two cars ready for Japan 'without too many issues' after facing a race against time to repair Alex Albon's damaged chassis.
Williams faced a spate of production delays over the past winter, which led to it gambling on prioritising other items over producing a spare car in time for the start of the season. That decision came back to haunt the squad in Australia, with Albon damaging his chassis in a practice crash. Albon was then handed team-mate Logan Sargeant's car, with the American having to sit out the rest of the race weekend as Williams was forced to withdraw his entry.
It allows us to fully understand how big the damage is, and what we have to do. 'And that preparation was key. What it meant was already at 2am on Monday, work could start. So, in Suzuka we'll have two cars without too many issues.'
