The Williams F1 team have been su🏅mmoned by the Chinese Grand Prix stewards for a bizarre reason.

Williams will have to explain to the stewards why they failed to provide mandatory video footage of their wings following Friᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚday’s running at the Shanghai International Circuit.

The alleged breach of the technical regulations relates to a recent technical directive imposed upon the teams by the FIA amid its 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:flexi-wing clampdown.

F1’s governing body is monitoring the flexing of front and rear wi𝓡ngs with more stringent tests fro♊m this weekend’s second round of the season in China.

Williams are alleged to have fallen𒁏 foul of TD034L, which requires all F1 teams to attach high-resolution camera▨s facing front and rear onto their cars.

FIA technicalಞ deꦅlegate Jo Bauer has referred Williams to the stewards, though the hearing has been delayed until 8.30am local time on Saturday morning.

According t𒁃o Bauer, Williams “failed to provide the video files recorded by the wireless forward and rearward facing cameras within one hour after th♍e end of the first free practice session”.

Carlos Sainz still not at one with Williams car

Sainz has admitted he is still not feeling at home behind the wheel of Williams’ 2025 challe☂ng♈er after his disappointing sprint qualifying result.

Following his SQ2 exit in Shanghai, the four-time grand🌠 pr♍ix winner said: “I’ve struggled all day with the balance, and both sessions have been quite tough.

“In sprint♉ quali we had a few issues, including a weird feeling with the seat that we’ll look into, but overall it comes down to me still not feeling at home in the car.

“We were struggling with some balance problems and especially c⭕oming down to Q2, not knowing exactly where to find the lap t🔜ime and a bit of overdriving.

“I still have to learn and understand many things about it and I know, with more mileage, it will come. Hopefully tomorrow we can put everything together and improve today’s result for Sundaꦚy.

“It's been a d𝐆ifficult weekend up until now, we're trying to find the balance of the car, it feels quite different here with the wind and, as I said, I’m struggling to find lap time 🔯when it comes to qualifying.”
