Carlos Sainz: We knew it wouldn't be easy in Hungary.
On Friday, Williams drivers did not show strong results but hope to improve on Saturday…
Carlos Sainz (16th): "Friday was not without issues; we didn't achieve the speed we aimed for. We knew this track would be tough for us, and throughout the day we tried different settings to find ways to gain time.
We are taking this experience into account and will make adjustments to try to make it into the qualifying final tomorrow."
Alex Albon (18th): "The day went fine. In the first practice, we showed a good pace, and on a track that usually doesn't suit us, we were close to the top five. This weekend, we made some adjustments to the settings that seem to have been beneficial.
Perhaps in the second session, we were heading in the wrong direction; this needs to be analyzed. We knew it wouldn't be easy at Hungaroring, but it allowed us to work on the car's setups, and now we have some solid ideas."
