Williams has admitted the crashes it endured at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix have given the team “tremendous work” to ensure it has enough spare parts.
Williams’ race weekend in Brazil was marred by a series of crashes leading to a substantial repair bill, with three incidents affecting both qualifying and the race on Sunday. Alex Albon’s Q3 progress was cut short by a collision with the barrier, while team-mate Franco Colapinto also had two accidents during the same eventful weekend. The team faces a challenging task of repairing the damages in time for the upcoming race in Las Vegas, as conveyed by Williams boss James Vowles. Despite the setbacks, Vowles emphasized the team’s focus on delivering strong performances in the present while also laying the groundwork for future success in the 2025-2026 timeframe. Williams now finds itself in ninth position in the standings, trailing Alpine by 27 points following the latter’s impressive double podium finish in Brazil.
