Williams chief Paddy Rowe takes 'leave' from Formula 1 team
Williams chief technical officer Paddy Lowe is to take a "leave of absence" from Formula 1, the team confirmed to reporters on Wednesday.
Williams faces a difficult start to the year after missing the first two days of testing, but it is a team used to fighting against the odds.
A look at the 10 teams on the Formula One grid in the order preseason testing suggested they all sit on the eve of the Australian Grand Prix.
The team missed the opening two and a half days of testing for the 2019 season due to the late completion of the car, with deputy team principal Claire Williams describing the delay as "embarrassing".
