Having finished third in the constructors' championship in each of the last two seasons, Williams are growing tired at staring up at Formula One's glass ceiling.

With a slice of luck, no mistakes and aggressive thinking, the Grove-based team might have won a number of races since the beginning of 2014, but Williams have been forced to settle for a scattering of podium finishes as the likes of Mercedes and Ferrari have dominated F1.

And Claire Williams, the deputy team principal, has outlined the challenge facing the British outfit as they seek to return to the top step of the podium.

Red Bull Racing are also eager to return to the front of the grid after enduring their first winless season since 2008 in 2015.

Unable to reach an engine agreement with Mercedes, Ferrari and Honda for 2016, the four-time world champions will continue to use Renault power units in the upcoming season in what is very much a marriage of convenience.

But Jonathan Wheatley, the team manager, has explained that marriage may be very convenient for Red Bull, with Renault set to make a step forward with their engine.

Formula One itself is set to make a step forward in 2017 when a new set of regulations are introduced.

The problem, however, is that it remains unclear what those new rules will be, and Williams' Pat Symonds has called for the revolution to be delayed until 2018 to ensure the sport doesn't head down the wrong path.

Most F1 folk, meanwhile, are convinced that the return of refuelling would see the sport go in the wrong direction. But that hasn't stopped FIA president Jean Todt from claiming mid-race fuel stops could still come back next year.

Closing this week's roundup is Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, who has expressed his sadness that his wife was never offered the opportunity to race in F1.
