Albon was enthusiastic about the fifth in Miami, when Sainz admits frustrations about the inability to score “larger” points for Williams

“To say crazy, also amazing to see the podium – I had George and Max [Verstappen] In my vision, in front of me the whole race without a security car, this is just proof of the progress that we make at Williams. The track fit clearly, but very happy. “

Albon even went so far later to joke that he had never seen Verstappen from start to finish in a race “even in my Red Bull Days”.

With Williams, the only midfielder that scored a goal in Miami, there could have been much more to enjoy without the disappointment of the sprint when Albon took fourth place to collect five points. However, he took a time penalty for the too slow journey under the security car, which brought it out in the order and from the points.

Nevertheless, the Thai driver was interested in emphasizing how well the car had distinguished itself in Miami throughout the weekend.

“The car felt quickly all weekend, from the first round we drove around the track around the track in FP1 around the track, I knew it would be a good weekend,” he said. “It won't be the case every weekend, we have to take these moments. So yesterday [The Sprint] Was so disappointing – because I thought we might not have a moment to score such points. “

While Sainz did not quite had the same pace in the Grand Prix as Albon, he came home after the ninth time after he had brought in a few times in the early stages to achieve his own point finish. However, there were times when more could have been possible because the Spaniard was right on the tail of the two Ferraris and even made contact against Lewis Hamilton in the last round.
