With the track been Carlos Sainz home race it is hoped that the team can come away with a successful race. But given that this is a totally new track with a whole series of unknown elements, ranging from the track surface, energy management, through to the banked curves, it going to be a demanding event. But for the team it will see them run their special livery with its FW07 heritage so again hopefully this will see the team be successful.

Italian GP: Best race result possile for Williams F1 Team
The 2026 Italian GP would see the Atlassian Williams F1 Team drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon finish 13th and 17th. Both drivers would in their own ways came away with decent races given the limitations of the FW48. For Carlos he would make a fantastic start in the first attempt, prior to a Red Flag, and he felt he had good race pace. But he would also suffer from deployment issues that saw him lose places in the opening laps of the race. For Alex starting from the rear of the grid after engine penalties made his race difficult but he would also come away falling victim to the issues that the FW48 has. It was a race where both drivers achieved the best result on the day as frustrating as that might be for the teams fans.

Italian GP: Qualifying sees Williams F1 Team still struggle
Despite being a well executed session the Atlassian Williams F1 Team still struggled in qualifying for the 2026 Italian GP. It all comes down to the fundamental performance issues that the team still faces with the FW48. Alex Albon would go into the session knowing that he would be facing a drop to the rear of the grid due to engine penalties so Alex did his best to assist Carlos Sainz make it into Q2 by helping him with a tow down the long Monza straights. As a result Carlos would finish in 15th but with other penalties he will start Sunday's race from 13th, Alex will start 22nd. The team had been focusing on their race performance so hopeully they can fight with the midfield on Sunday.

Dutch GP: Difficult race for Atlassian Williams F1 Team
The 2026 Dutch GP would turn out to be a difficult one for the Atlassian Williams F1 Team with once again, despite some early encouraghing pace, the team continues to suffer from an uncompetitive FW48. For Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz it was a race that would unfortunately see the pair make contact going into T1 as Alex was trying to pass Carlos. This would see damage to Alex's car which would see him forced to pit. He would be classified as 17th while Carlos would continue to be 16th. Very much a race that I suspect the team will want to move on from very quickly.

Dutch GP: Difficult Sprint & Qualifying for Williams F1 Team
The Sprint and Qualifying session would prove to be both difficult sessions for the Atlassian Williams F1 Team with both Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz finishing down the order in both. The Sprint would see Carlos starting from the pit lane and for him his Sprint would become pretty much a test session. For Alex would he would finish where he started in 16th. Qualifying would see Alex 16th and Carlos 17th after making some changes that did improve their cars but not by as much as hoped. It is very much the case that both drivers are getting the best from a car that is far from its most competitive.

Dutch GP: Mixed Friday for Atlassian Williams F1 Team
The opening day of the 2026 Dutch GP would see the Atlassian Williams F1 Team come away with a very muched mixed set of results with Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz having quite different sessions across the single practice and then Sprint qualifying. Alex was able to make it into SQ2 and would finish in 16th after what he described as a not bad Friday but for Carlos he would have issues in practice which affected his Sprint qualifying. Carlos was have several moments where he would go across the gravel and one would damage his floor which affected his ability to learn the car. This would ultimately see him only manage 18th in the qualifying. The results will see both drivers start down the order in Saturday's Sprint but given the state of the teams inability to bring updates to the FW48 this is not a real surprise.
