Williams ‘not fighting for much’ as Carlos Sainz makes Aston Martin claim

Carlos Sainz has expressed that Aston Martin has significantly improved and is now performing at a level far above that of Williams, which is struggling at the back of the grid. Following the Dutch Grand Prix, where Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso secured a points finish, Sainz noted that Williams has not scored points since Monaco and is currently only ahead of Cadillac in the standings. He acknowledged the team's ongoing challenges and the need for improvement as they prepare for future races.

Despite the difficulties, Sainz remains committed to the Williams project for the 2027 season. He emphasized that the team's performance in recent races has been consistent, indicating that their struggles are not isolated incidents. Sainz's comments reflect a broader concern about Williams' competitiveness in the current Formula 1 landscape, as they continue to seek ways to enhance their performance and challenge stronger teams like Aston Martin.
