Williams hope a raft of new updates will help propel the nearer the front of the grid in Canada, as they hope to introduce several low-downforce upgrades specifically for the Montreal circuit.
Canada is one of a few tracks which demand special packages aimed at lowering the cars downforce levels in order to gain straightline speed.
The track is similar to that of Monza in the sense that it is made up of several corners, in this case chicanes, which link the long straights.
Technical director, Sam Michael, explained the new parts which will feature on the FW33 during practice and, if successful, the race.
“The Montréal circuit is a great layout for overtaking and never fails to produce an exciting race. With the new tyres and DRS on two straights, I think this year’s race will be no exception.
“Set-up is geared towards aero efficiency on the straights and maximising traction out of the slow speed corners.
“We will have a new front wing, brake ducts, barge boards and modified diffuser to test during practice, as well as the obligatory new rear wing for the lower drag level required in Canada.”
