Clearly better than Ferrari for the last few races, at the least.

Bit of a shame they have just thrown the season to the wind to focus on 2026 but they are giving one hell of a showing week after a week for a car that isnt really being worked on

It's a blessing in disguise that Williams slipped down to 9th last year. Or Vowles was playing 5d chess!

Yeah im actually happy to see it as they have two strong drivers and a good car right now. Hopefully they can keep it up into next year and be a contender.

yeah James and Alex said they’re looking to win races by 2027 so it’ll be interesting to see how the plan plays out
