During the Miami Grand Prix, Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz had a disagreement over team orders, but Williams team principal James Vowles quickly resolved the issue in two minutes, attributing it to team miscommunication. Sainz believed Albon had disobeyed instructions to stay behind him but Albon was actually dealing with a water pressure issue. Vowles brought both drivers into a debrief room after the race to clarify the situation and ensure such misunderstandings do not happen again. The team has adjusted its processes to provide more concise instructions to drivers through engineers, aiming to streamline radio communication and avoid confusion in the future. Vowles emphasized the importance of clear communication within the team to prevent similar incidents from occurring.
