Franco Colapinto brought in the fears James Vowles and the company wanted to avoid, as the Williams driver crashed his challenger in the Las Vegas Grand Prix Qualifying. This was the sixth crash in three successive race weekends for Williams, and it could not have come at a worse time.
Williams has been plagued by a series of crashes in the last few race weekends. Besides minor crashes throughout the year, the Grove-based team faced two crashes in Mexico, three in Brazil, and one in the United States as of now.
The cost of repairing three cars at Interlagos was solely nearly $2.46 million, and one can expect the cost to go even higher amid a tight budget cap situation. The crash has come amid the British team's shortage of spare parts, something James Vowles-led team has been suffering from for a long time.
