Williams team principal James Vowles expressed disappointment over the ongoing qualifying issues the team is facing in this year’s Formula 1 season. Despite a promising start at the Italian Grand Prix with Carlos Sainz showing strong performance in practice sessions, both drivers struggled to make it out of Q2 due to tire optimization challenges, starting 13th and 14th on the grid. Despite this setback, Alex Albon had a remarkable race finishing seventh, securing crucial points for Williams in the Constructors’ Championship. Vowles acknowledged the tight competition in F1 and emphasized the importance of perfecting qualifying given the narrow margins between success and near-misses on the grid. The team is focused on addressing these qualifying anomalies to improve their overall performance in the remaining races of the season.
