Valtteri Bottas has said that his, and his team's first podium of the season has given them the confidence to build upon the result going forward.
The British team has fallen behind the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari this year, but was able to get back on the rostrum after making the most of a one stop pit strategy.
"It definitely makes a difference to the team, having a good race by the team, with the strategy and pit stop and everything, it was a good weekend, especially Sunday was a very strong performance by us," he said. "It always does give a lot of confidence to every single guy in the race team but also at the factory to push even harder."
"So yeah it is overall a good positive feeling in the team. We know we can do good results, so it’s nice to continue from here."
The Fin conceded that Circuit Gilles Villeneuve was a track that played into the hands of Williams, and he believes that the high-speed nature of the Baku City Circuit and the rounds immediately after will bring more positives for the team.
"Montreal definitely was one of the good tracks for our car, really its within the strengths of the car, but there are still plenty of good races to come," he said. "I don’t think this (Baku) is going to be too bad for us and also the next three races after."
I’m pretty sure we can still, with a good weekend, if we keep developing the car, we can fight for the podium and that should be the goal for us as a team."
