Mexican GP: Positive qualifying for Williams F1 Team
Qualifying for the 2026 Mexican GP would see Atlassian Williams F1 Team drivers Carlos Sainz finish 16th and Alex Albon 17th. Carlos was able to make it into Q2 but 16th was the best he could manage while for Alex he would finish just outside Q2. But such were the times with Carlos and Alex if Alex had made it into Q2 it would have been at the cost of Carlos. But given the limitations of the FW48 the result was still a positive one for both the drivers and team. As for Sunday's race the chances for a points result are realistically slim but given the incidents that have taken place in previous Mexican races you just never know.

Singapore GP: Race sees Williams F1 Team let down by issues
The Atlassian Williams F1 Team would come away from the 2026 Singapore GP with both Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon suffering from various issues that would see Carlos only 14th and Alex 18th, even though Alex retired in the pits. Carlos would make an excellent start that saw him in the top ten but very early in the race he would suffer from technical issues that would see him lose places. After this it came down to the usual issue of having a car that simply lacked the pace in the race to fight with the other midfield teams. For Alex he would suffer from brake issues and it was decided to retire his car late in the race simply to save the car. Overall a frustrating race which again saw the team suffer from a poor performing FW48. The big question for the team will be whether they can find more performance from the car as we draw close to the season's end.

Singapore GP: MIxed Saturday for Atlassian Williams F1 Team
Saturday at the Marina Bay Circuit would see the Atlassian Williams F1 Team have to contend with both the Sprint and Qualifying for the 2026 Singapore GP. The Sprint would see Carlos Sainz finish in 12th but for Alex Albon he would retire after suffering damage after being involved in a collision with another car. Then qualifying would be a far more positive session for the team with Carlos making it into Q2 and would finish in 14th. Alex would only manage 18th having to contend with a car that was not at its best after the crash in the Sprint. It was overall a far better result than what the team had achieved after Sprint Qualifying. Sunday's race will be a difficult one given the difficulties in passing but both Carlos and Alex will give it their best.
