MANAMA: Williams co-founder Patrick Head has returned to the Formula One team as a consultant after they started the season with an uncompetitive car that even their own drivers say is fundamentally flawed.
The British team said in a statement at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Friday that Head was"currently offering some support to our engineering team on a short-term consultancy basis'.Williams, the third most successful team in Formula One history with nine constructors' crowns and 114 grand prix wins, have not won a race since 2012.They face an uphill struggle with a car that was 3.8 seconds slower than Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in first practise in Bahrain.
"We've got spares for all the parts that we need. We've just got to make sure that the drivers don't do anything on track to jeopardise that," she added.
