About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by the Williams F1 team as they prepare for the 2026 season and the implications of their current performance.

Williams are improving...but not fast enough to be comfortable. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Dorilton Capital, the owners of the Williams F1 team, have been a very patient lot. Willing to wait years for the Formula 1 team to come good and to hire James Vowles to do the job. What's become clear is that as long as the 2026 FW48 was a good car, then all would be well...but so far, it's not. Did Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon commit to this team for a ninth placed Formula One car? I don't think so. There is a plan though. By Monza, the car should be down to the weight limit and Miami will see the start of that trend down...but what might become clear is that the cost cap that saved the team might now be hindering their progress. Their limit? Reached. For now. #f1 #carlossainz #formula1 #formulaone #williamsf1 #williamsracing #alexalbon #jamesvowles #f12026 #fw48 #f1teams #f1team #f1car #f1cars #f1drivers #f1driver #f1latest #f1news #f1updates #f1drama #f1gossip #f1discussion Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Williams' great 2026 bet is now a trap https://youtu.be/MdiPgL2yWRs…
