via CrashGuenther Steiner sets deadline for James Vowles to save his Williams F1 jobGuenther Steiner has expressed concerns about James Vowles's future as the team principal of Williams F1, particularly after a disappointing 2026 season. Williams has struggled significantly, currently sitting ninth in the constructors' championship with only 11 points, and Steiner has humorously suggested that Vowles needs time to address the team's issues, implying that he should be held accountable by the end of the year.
