Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon shared their views on Williams’ new upgrade package unveiled during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Sainz, who scored a point for the first time in ten races despite a grid penalty, considers these developments encouraging but insufficient to regularly target points. He emphasizes the need for additional improvements for Williams to compete more frequently.

Alex Albon, who experienced an off-track incident in Baku, shares this assessment. He is pleased with the progress made, particularly in aerodynamics, but acknowledges that the team still needs to work on optimizing the car.

Both drivers hope these upgrades will help Williams return to the midfield pack and offer greater competitiveness in upcoming races.
