This upgrade marked the end of a points drought for the team, which had lasted nearly three months, and was attributed to a significant weight reduction of 20 kilograms. The team's performance in Baku showed a 0.759% increase in lap time compared to their season average, indicating progress. Despite the positive results, questions remain about the true impact of the upgrade, as Williams had previously struggled with weight issues at the start of the season. The race itself was challenging, with Alex Albon crashing out and Sainz needing to recover from a low starting position. The team’s sixth-fastest overall ranking in Baku is an improvement, but further assessment across different circuits will be necessary to determine if they can consistently compete for points.the-race.comTue 29 SepGary Anderson: Alpine should handle Colapinto action, not the FIAGary Anderson argues that Alpine should take responsibility for Franco Colapinto's actions following his crash involving team-mate Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Flavio Briatore, Alpine's team boss, has stated he will consider what course of action to take regarding Colapinto, who already faces a five-place grid penalty for the incident. Anderson reflects on the importance of teams maintaining discipline among drivers and suggests that the responsibility for reprimands should lie with the team rather than the FIA. He also critiques Norris's demand for a race ban for Colapinto, noting that such incidents are common in racing and should be addressed internally by the team.the-race.comSun 27 SepAudi introduces extensive upgrade for Azerbaijan Grand PrixAudi has unveiled a significant upgrade package for their Formula 1 car ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
