This weekend the Belgian Grand Prix is scheduled, where not only the top teams hope to perform. The smaller teams are also looking forward to it, including Williams.

The Hungary Grand Prix was one of the most remarkable of the season so far. With Valtteri Bottas causing an accident at the start of the race, several top teams were missing at least one driver on track. It resulted in Williams suddenly being able to grab points with both Nicholas Latifi and George Russell.

Capito hopes for more points

Williams gained no less than ten points, which is very important for the team in the Constructors' Championship. "Ten points is not massive," team boss Jost Capito told the official website of the Formula 1. "It’s not over; this kind of race can come again, and then there is the chance for Haas and Alfa Romeo to do a result like this. So we can’t step back and not be focused on anymore."

"If there is again an opportunity to grab points, we have to be spot on and make sure we grab the points. That’s the focus of Alfa Romeo and Haas too. We are not safe to be eighth as we still have half of the championship to come."
