Williams looked to be a much-improved team in Miami, having struggled for large parts of the 2026 F1 season so far
Williams F1 team boss James Vowles has announced upcoming upgrades for the team’s car ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix. The team has struggled this season with an overweight car, affecting performance in speed and acceleration. Despite efforts to catch up with the top teams post-regulations reset in 2026, Williams has fallen behind, currently sitting in eighth place in the constructors’ championship. Following a break caused by race cancellations, Williams introduced upgrades at the Miami GP, resulting in a double points finish for drivers Carlos Sainz (9th) and Alex Albon (10th). Vowles expressed optimism about future upgrades to bring the team closer to their 2025 performance level. The focus is on continuous small performance improvements for upcoming races, with around 30 projects aimed at enhancing aerodynamics and overall car performance. Sainz has been critical of the team’s progress but remains optimistic, looking forward to more upgrades for the Montreal Grand Prix.
