Vowles calls Williams’ P5 ‘a dream come true’

Williams has remarkably secured fifth place in the Teams' Championship with a round to spare, a significant leap from ninth last season. This achievement was cemented by Carlos Sainz's brilliant third-place finish in Qatar, marking his second Grand Prix podium of the year despite late understeer issues. Team Principal James Vowles expressed immense pride, stating this result "surpasses our expectations" and reflects the team's promising direction. He lauded Sainz's "exceptional" performance and acknowledged Alex Albon's crucial consistency earlier in the season. Williams now sits 45 points clear of rivals, demonstrating the payoff of their hard work and ambition to win championships.
