Claire Williams supports McLaren's approach.

      Claire Williams, the former deputy team principal of Williams and the daughter of the team's founder Frank Williams, supports McLaren's approach, which seeks to provide equal opportunities for its drivers…

      Claire Williams: "Finding an approach to two strong drivers is very difficult. Lando and Oscar have spent many years preparing, have worked for a long time to be able to fight for a Formula 1 title, and dreamed of becoming world champions. And now they are fighting for that title against each other.

      Before a Grand Prix you can plan anything you like, but the race can sometimes throw up surprises. You need to discuss all the details with the drivers in advance so there is no misunderstanding, but you never know what will happen when the starting lights go out.

      It's very hard to control the situation in a race, and then on Monday everyone asks: 'Why did they make that decision? Why did they do this rather than that?' I see that the McLaren team always acts with the best intentions, trying to do everything possible for their drivers."
