So Williams team principal James Fowles has already voiced his criticism.
Gasly: Changes at Enstone have been received “positively”.
Before the summer holidays, there was a great deal of chaos in the Alps. At least that was the impression one could have from the outside. Pierre Gasly now explains that the atmosphere at the factory has been “positive” lately.
