Singapore Grand Prix: Race team notes - Williams

NEWS STORY
05/10/2025

James Vowles, Team Principal: Congratulations to Carlos on a really strong drive to achieve a point today, and thank you to Alex for working closely on strategy to achieve that result - it really was a team game.

We couldn't have achieved more from our starting position, but that only reiterates my disappointment about our qualifying disqualification because we had a quick car today. I'm looking forward to the remaining six rounds of the season, because we have a competitive car and we're here to fight for our position in the Championship. Finally, congratulations to McLaren for retaining the Constructors' Championship - their journey back to the top is an inspiration to us and the benchmark for what we want to achieve.

Carlos Sainz: Given the circumstances, we need to be happy and proud about our performance today. It was a straightforward race with no safety cars, but we still managed to progress through the field and grab a valuable point starting from P18. We were able to extend our medium tyre longer than anybody else into the race and once I put the softs on, I was able to do a very fast stint and some strong overtakes on track. We could've been fighting higher up the field today but all in all I'm very happy with our race execution. We'll take the learnings and start preparing for the upcoming races.

Alex Albon: Starting from the pit lane today we knew it was going to be a bit of a test session for us. We did a test setup just for some learnings and it didn't really work, but that's okay as we can use that data for future races. We had good pace when we were in clean air, we just got caught up in some blue flags and were stuck in traffic for majority of the race. Even when we did have fresher tyres, we had to wait for the car in front to catch the cars further up, so it was just one of those races where we couldn't do much, especially with no safety cars. There were a lot of learnings from this weekend, and we will look to tidy everything up for the next weekend out in Austin.
