Williams starts to show its hand

Felipe Massa set the fastest Barcelona lap of F1 pre-season testing on Thursday. BEN ANDERSON and KARUN CHANDHOK believe the true picture of Williams's 2015 potential has started to emerge

Fans of the Williams Formula 1 team may well be getting excited as we come towards the end of pre-season testing, and perhaps with good reason.

The first two tests of 2015 have been solid, but deliberately unspectacular for the Grove-based F1 squad. It has quietly gone about its business, focusing on the basics of the FW37's set-up, trying to improve areas of operational weakness last year (such as pitstops), and putting plenty of mileage on a Mercedes engine that must do more races this year before it can be changed without incurring penalty.
