Mike Coughlan claims Williams win as a team and lose as a team ? Formula 1 news

Williams? designer Mike Coughlan believes that they as a team share the responsibility of their uncompetitive performance in the 2012 Formula 1 season.

Pastor Maldonado of the Grove based team could not attain desired results for his team. Although, he scored his maiden victory in the Spanish Grand Prix and brought his team a great delight after a long time. However, he failed to score points on consistent basis and could only secure 15th place in the drivers? championship.

Additionally, the Venezuelan driver faced a lot of criticism over his rough driving style which became the cause of many accidents during the year.

On the other hand, his teammate, Bruno Senna also struggled with his pace and failed to score competitive points for his team. Furthermore, he could not secure his race seat in his team for the next season and is going to be replaced by Valtteri Bottas, who has been Williams? reserve driver.

There have been many speculations that the British squad lacked competency just because of their incompetent drivers. However, Coughlan has asserted that it is not fair to put the blame solely on their drivers as they won as a team and lost as a team.

Besides, he said that they have learnt a lot from their mistakes in this season which will definitely help in making some essential preparations for the coming year.

?We win as a team and lose as a team,? he explained to SpeedWeek, ?Of course, we've been through some difficult situations together and he will have learned from it, but it's not our style to point the finger at someone.?

In addition, he said that if they had a more competent car, they could have secured a better position in the constructors? championship.

?It could just as well be argued that, if we had given him a better car, he would not have been battling in the midfield so often,? he said.

?The biggest advantage has been the Renault engine, which was light, powerful and reliable,? he confirmed, ?It meant we were able to focus entirely on aerodynamic development, and it paid off.?
