Williams want to live up to ‘higher expectations’ – Sainz

Williams enjoyed their strongest performance of the 2026 season at the Miami Grand Prix, with Carlos Sainz Jr. and Alex Albon both finishing in the points. Sainz secured ninth place, while Albon finished tenth, marking the team’s first double points finish this year after a difficult start to the campaign. Despite the positive result, Sainz emphasized that Williams holds higher expectations for their performance. He acknowledged that the team is still working to overcome issues with car weight and closing the gap to the front-runners. Albon, who had a challenging weekend including a penalty in the Sprint, expressed satisfaction with his recovery and focused on carrying this momentum into the next race in Canada.
