Williams issues statement confirming Barcelona test absence

Williams’ new FW48 will not take to the track at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya next week, with the team going through delays stemming from a struggle to get the new chassis through the FIA crash tests. On Friday, the team released a social media post to confirm the first fire-up of the new car, and it’s understood that the delays in preparing the car are entirely unrelated to the power unit and its installation.
