Williams prioritises spare parts for Monaco after Albon crash

Williams Racing is directing resources toward spare parts production ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix after a costly Canadian Grand Prix weekend.

Team principal James Vowles said a heavy crash by Alex Albon on Friday in Canada destroyed multiple components including the floor, front wing, rear wing, gearbox elements and power unit parts. A separate collision with Oscar Piastri during the race added to the damage and left the squad with depleted inventory under cost cap limits.
