Vowles: Perez "lunge" on Albon could prove costly for Williams F1 team
The Marina Bay track was not expected to be suitable for Williams, but Albon had a solid race and gained extra pace in the latter stages of the race by making a pit stop for new tires under the Virtual Safety Car, following Mercedes’ strategy. However, Perez made contact with Albon while trying to overtake him, resulting in a five-second penalty for Perez and costing Williams four points. With seven races to go, Williams currently stands in seventh place in the world championship. Team Principal James Vowles expressed frustration over the incident and emphasized the importance of sensible overtaking techniques. Despite the setback, Vowles praised the team’s decision-making and performance during the race and remains optimistic about upcoming races where the team could potentially perform well.
