They didn't bring one because one doesn't exist. It's not like they forgot or didn't think they'd need it; Vowles is recovering from YEARS of badly done manufacturing practices and this is just something they haven't had the time to get up to speed yet.
- InitialLastName 3y agoThat's my point; this isn't the first time that Williams have been under-prepared at the start of the season, it just may be the first time it's visibly affected their race entry.
- michaelcampbell 3y agoOk, others are reporting it as if it was just a goof. I mean, one doesn't "forget" to bring a spare chassis. But Vowles has said (and is mentioned in that article) that the Capito years being run with an Excel sheet are just unacceptable, and it's going to take them some time to dig out from under it.
