New Williams F1 boss Vowles says teams are facing a young driver 'void', which he contributed to creating when he was at Mercedes.
Among other duties, Vowles was in charge of Mercedes' young driver programme before joiningrecruited several top-line prospects, including Italian prodigy Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who is rapidly rising through the single-seater ranks.
But with Mercedes and other teams prising away ever-younger prospects, Vowles now finds himself on the other side of the young driver arms race at Williams. But according to Vowles, a"void" below the mid-tier junior formulae might now force Williams to go further down the karting ranks to find the next big thing.
"What I'm looking for is someone who's younger than Antonelli, where can they end up. So maybe we have a void."While admitting there is some frustration at tying the highly regarded Antonelli to Mercedes before his departure, Vowles says he is looking to bolster the Williams junior ranks in a similar fashion to his work at Mercedes.
