Carlos Sainz provided extensive feedback to Williams engineers after his first test in their 2024 F1 car. Sainz, known for his detailed driving insights, focused on the car's handling characteristics, particularly the throttle response and differential behavior. He requested data analysis to further refine his understanding and assist the team in fine-tuning the car's setup for the upcoming season.
Sainz had the opportunity to drive Williams’ 2024 challenger during a filming day after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.Ahead of his initial laps in the car, Sainz instructed his engineers to add some padding to the cockpit to make it more comfortable for him.
His first run also allowed him to test various buttons on the Williams steering wheel, including “pit confirm”, which signals to his team when he is entering the pit lane. Sainz replied: “Yeah, a different car completely. It’s crazy! Even the throttle pedal. You feel a bit more through the steering column here.”After a few more laps in the car, Sainz provided Williams with fascinating feedback.
One of the engineers replied: “That’s an interesting comment,” before Sainz added: “I feel like it has a bit of a delay on how quickly it should close.”Sainz then responded: “Show me some data when you can and I can tell you whether I think it’s too much or not enough. Let’s focus tonight on rear and front slips, and we will separate the profile.
