How did Williams do in Austria?

It was another horrible weekend for the Grove-based team, as they went empty-handed from the Styrian Grand Prix. They looked set to score their first F1 points this season, but fate had different plans.

While the Briton sustained a DNF, his teammate, Nicholas Latifi, crossed the line in seventeenh place with three laps down.
