In the final stage in Sao Paulo, Williams drivers had three serious accidents: Franco Colapinto crashed the car in qualifying and in the race, and Alex Albon crashed in qualifying, but so bad that the team did not have time to repair the FW46 before the race. start. Williams chief James Vowles said the incidents had seriously complicated the spare parts situation for the remaining three races of the season.
James Vowles: “This weekend our riders experienced three very serious accidents in just a few hours. The team still has a lot of work to do to resolve the spare parts issue in Las Vegas in a few weeks.
In each of the remaining weekends we must try to achieve the best possible result, but at the same time do not forget to prepare for 2025 and 2026, because that is our real goal. All our efforts must be focused on 2026.
However, this does not mean that the stage in Sao Paulo feels less painful. On the contrary, I wanted to watch the race to the finish in order to completely remember the painful feelings and try everything to prevent them from happening again in the future.
Our rivals from Alpine were fast in the race, there is no doubt about that. They deserved the result and earned a lot of points, which allowed them to climb high in the Constructors’ Championship, which dropped us to ninth place. But I never give up and I won’t give up until the checkered flag in Abu Dhabi. We have two fast drivers and a fast car.”
