    It also put Sainz in the top 10 in the Drivers championship. So both Williams drivers are in the top half in the Drivers Championship, and Williams as a team is in the top half in the Constructors championship. I love how great they are doing this year, especially when they are running their 2024 car!!

      Alex and Carlos are great. I enjoy them both. The Team Torque videos they do are great and they seem to be very good teammates.

      I also chalk a lot of it up to Vowles pushing the team forward. I’m always impressed when I hear him speak and the depth of knowledge he can bring to bear, but also how level-headed he always seems to be. It’s a great atmosphere to improve the team’s offering and give confidence to the drivers, especially for two that have been unceremoniously booted from a previous team.

        Yeah Vowels is a great team principal. He was a physicist, is data driven, was there during the Jenson Button era etc. absolutely love what Williams has accomplished this year.

      Didnt know that - maybe Ferrari should’ve done the same :/. Great result for the team, great to see Williams back in the mix - best of the rest.

    Worth acknowledging that Carlos has largely eclipsed Alex in the latter half of this season. Really showing his quality after a difficult start, and I’m happy for him.

      5th in Constructors!.. unbelievable

      I am extra happy because I think Ferrari was ultra shitty by shoving Sainz aside. I was skeptical when Sainz ended up with Williams, I was hoping he would land a mid-fielder team but I am happy to be proven wrong here. For a moment, I was hoping Stroll would finally step aside for Sainz and Alonso for form the Spanish Armada!
