Williams doubts that they will be able to earn points.

      The qualification in Barcelona did not go well for Williams. For Alex Albon, the fight ended in the first session, while Carlos Sainz managed to advance to the second part of the qualification but only achieved the sixteenth fastest time. The team acknowledges that the car's speed will not allow them to compete for points.

      Carlos Sainz (16th): "Today we extracted the maximum from the car we had at our disposal and accomplished the task of reaching the second part of the qualification. The result reflects our level on this track.

      We used all the new sets of tires in the first session, so there was almost no potential for improvement in the second session, which is why we couldn't rise above 16th place.

      We are ready for any developments in the race, as anything can happen on this track. If we only consider speed, then we cannot talk about fighting for points, but this track remains a serious challenge for all teams, and strategy can play a very important role. We are ready to seize any opportunity.

      The weekend is not easy, but the support from Spanish fans is simply incredible. Tomorrow I will do everything in my power."

      Alex Albon (18th): "The race weekend is turning out to be even tougher than we expected. I am not satisfied with the balance at all – the car is constantly sliding, there was not enough grip on both the front and rear wheels, and the car's behavior changed in every corner.

      I couldn't find a rhythm and achieve stability. This is particularly disappointing, but we knew in advance that this track would be a challenging test for us, though we didn't expect it to be this difficult.

      In qualifying, Carlos managed to achieve a bit more speed than I did, so we will carefully analyze the data tonight and try to understand what exactly went wrong.

      If we only consider speed, then we will not be fighting for points in the race. However, on this track, the tires wear out significantly, so many pit stops and various strategy options are expected, which could open up additional opportunities."
