Since Williams defines the very bottom of the race grid, they don't have much to hide in terms of technology. So releasing a 3D model of their car in this form is nothing that would harm the team at this time.

It is possible that their aerodynamics are good or even best of all F1, while the motor, the suspension, the tires, etc lag enough to nullify this advantage.

Williams engine is supplied by Mercedes, tires are shared from Pirelli. But sure there are other parameters as well apart from aerodynamics.
