Azerbaijan GP: Great qualifying for Williams Racing

Qualifying for the 2024 Azerbaijan GP would see the Williams Racing Team produce what was their best qualifying result for some time with Franco Colapinto finishing 9th and Alex Albon 10th. After FP3 both drivers were far happier with the performance of their cars and would head into qualifying feeling positive. And the results would show that their happiness was well placed with both Franco and Alex making it into Q3. Q3 would see Franco struggle a bit to find extra pace and Alex would have the strangest of incidents when his car was released out of the pit lane with the airbox fan blower still attached. A significant mistake that saw Alex forced to stop and through good fortune was able to remove the unit but he was delayed to such an extent he would not start his final flying lap in Q3. Regardless it was a great day for the team to achieve these results and now with the team feeling that their race pace is good points in Sunday's race are there to be secured.
