Is James Vowles the right man to lead Williams and what needs to be done to turn around Formula 1’s worst team?

Those questions and more are tackled in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, featuring Mark Hughes, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Edd Straw.

We explain why Williams chose Vowles and the qualities he brings to the team, and what it tells us about the way Williams wants to work in the future.

There’s also a look at the areas of weakness that need improvement if Williams is to climb off the bottom of the constructors’ championship, where it has been for four of the past five seasons, and how Vowles will go about tackling them.

Accusations of this appointment meaning it will become a de facto Mercedes b-team, and the possibility this could allow Vowles to build experience before a return to lead Mercedes, are also discussed.
