Williams Racing

 

Atlassian Williams Racing secured its second double points finish of the season at the 2025 Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon bringing it home in P8 and P9, respectively. 🙌🔵⚪️

The race began with high drama as Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly tangled on the opening lap, prompting an early Safety Car deployment. Carlos and Alex navigated the incident cleanly, avoiding the chaos and maintaining strong positions as the pack reset.

Once the action resumed, both drivers settled into a confident rhythm on the high-speed Jeddah Corniche Circuit, firmly holding their spots in the top 10. Lando Norris managed to pass Carlos on Lap 7, but that would be the only position lost for the team after the Safety Car.

Strategically, the team executed a one-stop plan, starting both cars on the Medium compound before switching to Hards just before the halfway mark—perfectly timed and expertly managed. 🛞📈

Alex Albon, Driver, Williams Racing

We executed the strategy perfectly and played the team game to keep Hadjar at bay. We were prepared for this scenario and worked together to maintain the DRS train. It’s a great feeling to bring home solid points. Proud of the whole team! 🇹🇭👏

Carlos Sainz, Driver, Williams Racing

Solid day! We were strong on both tyre compounds and made good progress with some solid overtakes. In the final stint, the team asked me to give Alex DRS to help defend against Hadjar—it wasn’t easy with three DRS zones, but we pulled it off. Super happy to contribute to a strong team result. Miami, here we come! 💪🇪🇸

James Vowles, Team Principal, Williams Racing

Really great work by the team. This was a well-earned, proper points finish, putting us fifth in the Constructors’ Championship. We are fortunate to have two world-class drivers, and today proved the strength of teamwork. I couldn’t be prouder.
