Albon rues ‘messy race' as Sainz says 'nothing went our way' in Spain as Williams fail to score for first time since Bahrain

Williams endured a calamitous Spanish Grand Prix, with both Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz suffering multiple front wing breakages that effectively derailed their races. Albon’s day began poorly with a clutch issue and a Turn 1 collision, leading to his first wing replacement. Further contact with Liam Lawson resulted in a second broken wing and a 10-second penalty, ultimately forcing his retirement. Sainz also suffered early front wing damage and a lengthy pit stop, compounding the team's woes. He struggled with an overheating engine and finished a distant 14th, marking his first non-points finish at his home race since 2015. This disastrous outing snapped Williams' four-race scoring streak, though they maintain fifth in the constructors' championship as their closest midfield rivals, Racing Bulls, leapfrogged Haas. The team now looks to Canada hoping to put this weekend's misfortunes behind them.
