Williams faced challenges at the beginning of the season due to missed deadlines, resulting in an overweight car without spare parts. Despite initial difficulties, the team showed improvement with Albon scoring points in Monaco and being close to scoring in Canada until an incident with Carlos Sainz. However, subsequent races in Spain and Austria saw both drivers struggle to qualify and compete for top positions. Albon expressed disappointment with recent performances, indicating a need for better results this weekend.

Sargeant also noted progress in resolving technical issues with the car but emphasized the need for further improvement. Absence from FP1 due to practice outings for another driver was seen as a challenge, but Sargeant remained optimistic about his familiarity with the track contributing to a successful weekend.
