This remarkable Williams stat shows their incredible progress under James Vowles
Williams has had a remarkable 2025 F1 season, reaching an impressive milestone with eight races remaining. Alex Albon’s seventh-place finish at the Italian Grand Prix was a testament to his strong season performance. His strategic first stint on hard tires allowed him to overtake several midfield rivals, including Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto. Rejoining on fresh medium tires, Albon passed Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli to secure seventh place. This result solidified Williams’ position in fifth place in the constructors’ championship, a ranking they haven’t achieved since 2017. Under the leadership of James Vowles, Williams has shown significant progress, scoring 86 points already in 2025 compared to 84 points in the previous six seasons combined. Vowles’ focus on future seasons has guided Williams’ strategic decisions, aiming for long-term success and championship victories rather than short-term gains in the current standings.
