Sainz: I'll try to unlock the car's potential more fully.
On the eve of the Japanese Grand Prix, the Williams drivers are very positive, and this is understandable, because Alex Albon has earned points at both stages of the season, and the team has already scored as many points as it did at the end of the last championship. But if he has already fully mastered driving the FW47, then Carlos Sainz is still in the process of learning the features of a new car for him.
Alex Albon: "I've always enjoyed racing in Japan. I just love this country, its culture and Japanese fans, and Suzuka is definitely one of my favorite tracks on the championship calendar!
Before the start of the series of three races in a row, we are as focused and motivated as possible. After such a confident start to the season, the team has a really fighting spirit. It is very important that everyone is even more united by this common charge of positive energy, we are all working in the same direction, and I anticipate the results that we can achieve."
Carlos Sainz: "We are heading to Japan, where we will start a series of three races in a row, and after the first two stages of the season, I worked with the team, continuing to study the characteristics of the car to make full use of its potential.
It's incredibly exciting to race on the Suzuka circuit, and we all love racing there. This is one of my favorite stages of the season, where we always get a warm welcome from the Japanese fans, which makes this weekend even more exciting!
The team and I are confident ahead of the Japanese stage of the championship, and we will try to make a good start to this three-Grand Prix series."
