Both Williams drivers scored points in Saturday’s sprint in Austin, so James Vowles is very pleased, and his joy is not even overshadowed by the fact that Alex Albon failed to make it into the second part of qualifying due to a track limits infringement. James Vowles, team principal: “A wonderful day for our team, as we scored another 9 points, and both drivers contributed to that. It was the first sprint in which we managed to get on the podium, and I’m proud of that. It’s also good that Carlos will start tomorrow’s Grand Prix from ninth. I think he’ll have the opportunity to move forward. In Alex’s case we’ve had differential problems on his car all weekend, and despite that he had a great sprint and finished sixth. The team did a great job on his car before qualifying, and the changes that were made were positive in nature, however the chassis balance changed noticeably. The car’s behavior became less predictable, and that led to Alex not being able to fully unlock the FW47’s potential. But I’m confident that overall the car is effective, and he will be able to make up positions.” Carlos Sainz (9th): “It was another successful day, and I’m pleased with how qualifying went. We executed cleanly, and the car was capable of a strong pace, but unfortunately the wind picked up for the final session and it became harder to drive. That said, ninth place is broadly in line with our performance. I’m in a confident mood ahead of tomorrow’s race, and I hope to put on a show that gives these wonderful fans another reason to cheer! Our job is to fight our way forward through the pack. I hope we can keep up with the cars starting from higher positions. And the ultimate goal is to score as many points for the team as possible, so we’ll be focusing on the race.” Alex Albon (19th): “The day started fairly normally, we had a good sprint, avoided trouble, gained a few positions and picked up a few points. Already on Friday we found that my car had differential problems, and before the sprint we couldn’t make setup changes in time, so in qualifying the car had completely different settings and balance. Now we need to analyze the telemetry data in detail, but I felt that the understeer was more pronounced than usual. Overall the changes were the right ones, but we should have worked on the setup for longer, and there was no time left for that. It’s a shame that my final quick lap was deleted due to going off track, as we should have at least made it into the second session. We’ll see how tomorrow unfolds.”

      Ambos pilotos de Williams sumaron puntos tras el sprint del sábado en Austin, por lo que James Vowles está muy satisfecho, y su alegría no se ve empañada ni siquiera por el hecho de que Alex Albon no pudo pasar a la segunda parte de la clasificación por salirse de los límites de la pista.

      James Vowles, jefe de equipo: «Un día maravilloso para nuestro equipo, ya que hemos conseguido 9 puntos más y ambos pilotos han contribuido. Ha sido el primer sprint en el que hemos logrado subir al podio, y estoy orgulloso de ello.

      Tampoco está mal que Carlos salga en el Gran Premio de mañana desde la novena posición. Creo que tendrá oportunidades de avanzar. En el caso de Alex, hemos tenido todo el fin de semana problemas con el diferencial en su monoplaza, y pese a ello hizo un gran sprint y terminó sexto.

      El equipo hizo un excelente trabajo con su coche antes de la clasificación, y los cambios introducidos fueron de carácter positivo; sin embargo, el balance del chasis cambió notablemente.

      El comportamiento del coche se volvió menos predecible, y eso provocó que Alex no pudiera sacar todo el potencial del FW47. Pero estoy seguro de que, en general, el coche es eficaz y que podrá recuperar posiciones».

      Carlos Sainz (9º): «Ha sido otro día exitoso, y estoy satisfecho con cómo fue la clasificación. Actuamos con claridad y el coche tenía ritmo para estar sólido, pero, desafortunadamente, para la sesión final el viento se intensificó y pilotar se volvió más difícil.

      En general, la novena posición se ajusta a nuestras capacidades. Estoy confiado de cara a la carrera de mañana, y espero afrontarla de manera que estos maravillosos aficionados tengan un nuevo motivo para aplaudir.

      Nuestra tarea es abrirnos paso hacia adelante a través del pelotón. Espero que podamos no perder comba respecto a los coches que salen en posiciones más adelantadas. Y el objetivo final es conseguir para el equipo la mayor cantidad de puntos posible, así que nos centraremos en la carrera».

      Alex Albon (19º): «El día empezó bastante normal, hicimos un buen sprint, evitando problemas, recuperando varias posiciones y sumando algunos puntos.

      Ya el viernes descubrimos que mi coche tenía problemas con el diferencial, y antes del sprint no pudimos introducir a tiempo los cambios en la puesta a punto, así que en la clasificación el coche tenía ajustes y un balance totalmente distintos.

      Ahora hay que analizar detalladamente los datos de telemetría, pero noté que el subviraje se manifestaba con más fuerza de lo habitual. En general los cambios son correctos, pero con la puesta a punto debería haberse trabajado más tiempo, y no hubo tiempo para ello.

      Es una pena que mi vuelta rápida final fuera anulada por salirme fuera de pista, porque deberíamos al menos haber pasado a la segunda sesión. Veremos cómo se desarrolla el día de mañana».
