At Friday’s Mexico City Grand Prix press conference, Williams team principal James Vowles said the team was still paying for mistakes made in 2025. Getting things right for 2027, he added, was its main focus for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Vowles called 2026 a tough year and suggested Williams may, in part, have needed to go through the difficult period to correct course for the future.

He praised Carlos and Alex as leaders during the strain and said everyone at Williams had their heads held high.
