Vowles: “Im Moment gibt es größere Probleme zu lösen als die Fahrer”.

Gerüchte besagen, dass der 17-jährige Kimi Antonelli bereits in Imola 2024 den Williams-Piloten Logan Sargeant ersetzen könnte. Teamchef James Vowles äußert sich zur Fahrersituation und dazu, ob dies Realität werden könnte.

“Wir haben im Moment viel größere Probleme zu lösen als Fahrer”, sagte Vowles. “Alex hat Fahrten auf Meisterschaftsniveau absolviert und im Moment sammelt er keine Punkte. Ich bin mir also nicht sicher, ob er Punkte holen wird. Und im Grunde haben wir es in der Hand, unser Auto in Zukunft zu verbessern. Das ist mein Hauptanliegen, mehr als alles andere.”

Vowles fügte hinzu: “Bei Kimi muss man bedenken, dass es erst 20 Monate her ist, dass er in einem Formel-4-Auto saß. Das ist eine große Zeitspanne. Es ist ein großer, großer Schritt in ein Formel-1-Auto in so kurzer Zeit.”

Bisher konnten weder Alex Albon noch Logan Sargeant in dieser Saison einen Punkt holen und Williams liegt auf dem achten Platz der Konstrukteursmeisterschaft.

Hat Vowles mit Kimi gesprochen?

“Ich habe seit Abu Dhabi letztes Jahr nicht mehr mit Kimi gesprochen. Ich hoffe, das relativiert das Ganze.”

“Wenn er dieses Jahr ins Auto kommt, habe ich von Anfang an gesagt, dass es eine Leistungsgesellschaft ist. Logan muss sich seinen Platz erst verdienen. Und im Moment hat er einige harte Ziele, bei denen er viel näher an Alex herankommen muss. Aber im Moment war nichts auf dem Radar, um ihn zu ersetzen.”

Diese Gerüchte stammen aus Berichten, die nahelegen, dass Antonelli Sargeant bereits in Imola ablösen könnte. Es wurde berichtet, dass bei der FIA ein Antrag auf eine Lizenz für Antonelli gestellt wurde, was noch einige Wochen dauern könnte. Das Mindestalter für eine Superlizenz liegt jedoch bei 18 Jahren, doch der Italiener ist erst 17 Jahre alt, so dass er eine Sondergenehmigung benötigt.
