Williams was the worst team on the grid for quite a few years. They're still not very good, but they have at least one very good driver and James Vowles, who was the Chief Strategist at Mercedes, just took over the Team Principal role last season. He's done a lot to right the ship, and I imagine that fixing things like this were a pretty crucial part of it.

Counterpoint: he decided Logan Sargeant deserved another season.
Only guess there is that maybe he thought an American driver would lead to American sponsors?
