## Resource

I’m not convinced Williams kept their drivers on equal terms. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz are both staying at Williams for 2027, but look closer and these are two very different deals. The happy little double announcement isn't quite what it seems. These drivers are no longer the same. There is a number two driver, something which will really hit home come next season...how did we get here? One thing's for sure, Williams are in a weaker position now than they were two years ago. #f1 #carlossainz #alexalbon #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1news #f1latest #williamsf1 #williamsracing #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #f1car #williams #f1drama #f1gossip Williams’ Happy Story Doesn’t Quite Add Up https://youtu.be/Dew-mTqedOo Hosted on Acast.
