What Williams's 'new car' shows it got wrong for F1's 2022 rules

Williams introduced a massive mid-season upgrade package at the British Grand Prix that represented a dramatic departure from its original design.
Not only did it transform the look of the car, but it also represented an admission of the big mistake Williams made with its original concept for F1’s return to full ground effect cars in 2022.
It doesn’t require an expert technical eye to spot that the key change was the Mercedes-style narrow sidepods being abandoned. These have been replaced with a more conventional design that takes inspiration from both Ferrari and Red Bull – but fundamentally is more in the direction of Red Bull.
But the sidepods were a symptom of what Williams got wrong, rather than the cause. The original approach demonstrated a misunderstanding of the optimum way to generate consistent, useable downforce with these new 2022 regulations.
