Chefe da Williams coloca um ponto final após doloroso GP do Japão

O chefe da equipe Williams, James Vowles, descreveu o Grande Prêmio do Japão como doloroso e prometeu usar o intervalo de cinco semanas antes de Miami para melhorar o desempenho do time. Carlos Sainz terminou em 15º e Alex Albon em 20º em Suzuka. Vowles elogiou ambos os pilotos ao abordar os problemas contínuos com o carro.

A Williams enfrentou um fim de semana difícil no circuito de Suzuka durante o Grande Prêmio do Japão. Sainz cruzou a linha de chegada em 15º lugar com o que Vowles chamou de uma pilotagem impecável, enquanto Albon terminou em 20º após uma eliminação no Q1 na classificação e um programa de testes no final da corrida que envolveu cinco paradas nos boxes. Albon havia expressado frustração, dizendo: “Eu reclamo por três corridas seguidas que há algo errado, mas tenho certeza de que é o meu estilo de pilotagem.”
