Williams faced a tough Formula 1 grand prix in Canada, with Alex Albon retiring due to engine issues and Carlos Sainz making it home with just a single point to add to the team’s tally – which may prove to be a missed opportunity at the end of a so-far-impressive 2025 season.
Williams’s weekend in Montreal started strong, with both Sainz and Albon bothering the top of the running in Friday practice. Then, come qualifying, the cracks started to show. The Spaniard was knocked out in Q1 after getting caught up behind the Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar, while Albon managed to wrangle his FW47 to 10th.
