James Vowles issues rallying cry for struggling Williams to show its ‘values’ during F1 break
Williams boss James Vowles believes the unscheduled April break in the Formula 1 season has allowed the team to showcase its values following a challenging start to the 2026 season. The FW48 has struggled with excess weight in the first three races, resulting in a lack of competitiveness. Although Carlos Sainz managed a ninth-place finish in China, the team currently sits in ninth position in the championship standings, ahead of only Cadillac and Aston Martin. Vowles expressed that the team has used the break to address the weight issue and is optimistic about showing progress at the upcoming Miami race. By emphasizing accountability and resilience, Williams F1 Team aims to demonstrate improvement and return stronger to the track.
