Carlos Sainz believes Williams may have turned a corner with its performance after a double points finish at the F1 Miami GP.
Carlos Sainz believes Williams showed signs of improvement at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix with a double points finish. Williams made a bold move by focusing on the 2026 technical regulations early, leaving the 2025 car behind. However, initial optimism turned to disappointment as the FW48 underperformed and faced delays with updates. Despite these setbacks, the car upgrades finally made a positive impact at Miami, leading both Sainz and Albon to score points. Sainz highlighted the need for shedding weight off the car and improving further to bridge the gap to the front-runners. Williams aims to build on this progress in upcoming races but faces challenges due to the delays in development. Mercedes is anticipating FIA scrutiny on Alpine F1’s bid as Williams continues its journey to master the new regulations.
