Williams team principal James Vowles has admitted that the squad's strategy choices during the Canadian Grand Prix were "not right or perfect", while praising Carlos Sainz's strong recovery drive and backing Alex Albon to have scored points if not for a collision with Oscar Piastri.
The Grove outfit opted to start the race in Montreal on intermediate tyres. But as it became clear that the anticipated rain was not coming, the team had to react quickly and switch both drivers onto slick tyres early in the race.
