Claire Williams is confident that the high-speed Baku City Circuit will play to her team's strengths as the team looks to carry the momentum of their podium perfomance in Canada through to the European Grand Prix.
Valtteri Bottas finished third in Canada, giving their team their first podium of the year. Despite often being a challenger in the V6 turbo hybrid era, Williams has fallen further behind Ferrari and Red Bull this year but the team's deputy team principal believes that the track coming up will be good for them.

Carlos Sainz Remains Defiant Despite "Overweight" Williams Rumors
"This hopefully will be a good race for us as well," she said. "We’ve got a string of races coming up where the circuits will all suit our car, so hopefully we’ll have a positive few races in the next ones to come."
"I think we absolutely have to capitalise on these races: this one here and then obviously the ones coming up in Austria, Silverstone, etcetera. They will suit our car and we have to make the most of it."
Despite taliing up the importance of upcoming races, Williams said that the team was working hard to close the gap to Red Bull.
"Obviously all the work’s still going on in the factory to make sure the car remains competitive – or as competitive as it can be for the remaining rounds," she said. "Because we do want to take the fight to Red Bull. We aren’t happy lying in fourth. Unfortunately that gap’s opened up a little bit but we have to work hard and make sure we can keep closing that gap and taking the fight to them."
