Williams have been one of the most impressive teams in the preseason testing so far. Ever since they have brought their new 2022 cars out to the track, the British team has encountered very few problems. There is a positive vibe within the team going into the new season, as was evident during the press conference.

Williams driver Nicholas Latifi mentioned that there is a lot of positivity currently within the team. But interestingly, George Russell, who is the former Williams driver, cheekily mentioned that Latifi was taking a dig at him.

“Is that aimed at me!?” said Russell when Nicholas spoke of the positive environment in the team. “We’re happy you left!” replied Nicholas to his former teammate.
