Williams has endured a torrid start to the 2026 F1 season with a car that is massively overweight.
Alex Albon pointed out that Williams could take advantage of the ongoing five-week break in Formula 1 to improve the performance of their car compared to rival teams. Despite struggling with an overweight car and a disappointing start to the season, Williams aims to make significant upgrades for the upcoming Miami round. Although the team acknowledges the importance of track time, they are focusing on maximizing the break for development and simulation work. Albon highlighted their commitment to spending time in the factory and utilizing a driver-in-the-loop simulation program to prepare for the next race. Williams is determined to bounce back and shed weight off the car to deliver a stronger performance in Miami.
