Williams to hold back major upgrades

While the majority of teams will make major changes to their cars for the Spanish GP, Williams have opted to delay their big upgrades until the Monaco GP.

It has been a trying season for Williams with the Rubens Barrichello and Nico Rosberg picking up just six points between them in the first four races of the season.

The team's technical director Sam Michael says they will wait until Monaco before they take a few "bigger steps".

"We do have some stuff for Barcelona, and that's a good step, but I think the bigger steps will come for Monaco and Istanbul," he said.

Michael, though, is confident that they will soon start to reap the benefits from the changes they've already made to the car.

"We've made a lot of changes, so it's taking time to get us a little bit more up to speed," he added.

"We've got a good development program for the car and a lot of stuff coming through in the next couple of races – Monaco and Istanbul.

"We'll just keep our head down and try and get that stuff on the car as quick as we can."
