The Williams front wing seems to be loaded more in the centre, more like the Alfa Romeo, although not in such an extreme way as the Alfa.

Whereas with the aggressive discontinuity on the Alfa Romeo, are they trying to shed a Y250-ish vortex (albeit rotating the opposite way)?
The Alfa front wing appears, to my amateur eyes, to be trying to open the space between the nose and the front flap to aid airflow through to the underside of the tub and hence floor. Placing this single front flap lower would give some downforce too, I suppose. Then they have the front edge raise up which would give an increase in camber of the whole front wing here which would give more downforce, then they remove the camber totally at the outermost ends in order to get the ends developing an outwash flow.
It looks like it's trying to do lots of jobs.
Looking at it again, I wonder if the low central section under the nose is about downforce, the raised sections either side are then about airflow to the floor but, with camber, they also make good front wing downforce. Outer ends as above.
That's just looking at it twice with different ideas.
Really, most of us haven't got much of a clue what they're trying to achieve. Maybe our resident aero guys will chime in.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.
