Williams says it is deliberately reducing mileage on the cars driven by Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon during the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend because the engines are nearing the end of their cycle. Team principal James Vowles said the measure is intended to help the team get through the remaining races without problems.

Vowles also addressed a problem Albon encountered in first practice. He said it was “a safety mechanism that had kicked in, not a defect,” and added that the problem could be resolved.
