Carlos Sainz used the Hungarian Grand Prix as an example in explaining the design philosophy changes needed at Williams for the 2026 Formula 1 campaign, as the team struggled at the Hungaroring.
In reviewing his opening 14 rounds at the team, Sainz felt that Williams' poor form in Hungary had been in line with expectations seen over 2025; the Spaniard noted that the FW47 performs well in circuits with longer straights and short corners, but struggles to retain downforce through the longer radius turns.
