Williams complains about the wind.

      Williams cars proved to be too sensitive to gusty winds, typical of Silverstone, which hindered work on Friday.

      Alex Albon (11th): "It was very windy today, so it was difficult. We didn't reach the desired pace, we need to figure out how to make the car more manageable, and tomorrow we'll come back in better shape.

      Wind always creates challenges, causing understeer or oversteer in every corner. Because of this, at Silverstone, where everything is exposed to the wind, it's hard to find the right setup — you don't feel comfortable in any turn, just trying to find the most stable balance throughout the lap.

      Before the second practice, we made some adjustments; it seems we are moving in the right direction, but we'll see what happens in qualifying tomorrow."

      Carlos Sainz (16th): "A tough day due to the wind. We couldn't maintain stability throughout the day, but we managed to complete the entire program, focusing on improving reliability. We gathered the necessary information, and in the third session, we'll focus on speed.

      It will be interesting to see how cooler weather affects the performance — it could help us, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow's qualifying."
