Mexican GP: Williams Racing Grand Prix Preview

Coming off a mixed weekend in Austin the Atlassian Williams Racing Team moves to Mexico Citty for the 2025 Mexican GP. Both Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon are excited to back in Mexico and are hoping to maintain the momentum that the team has built up over the last few races. The only negative going into the weekend is the five place grid penalty that Carlos received from the United States GP. Hopefully the team will be able to have a far more clean weekend as they continue to fight for 5th in the championship.

Carlo Sainz:
Heading into Mexico week, it’s always a circuit I love to race at, and the energy of the crowds is unmatched. It’s disappointing to be heading into the weekend with the five-place grid penalty but on the positive side, we know the car has pace so hopefully we can qualify well and fight our way back on Sunday. The team continues to have some good momentum so I’m looking forward to it!

Alex Albon:
I'm looking forward to heading to Mexico City and finishing the double header strong. The track in Mexico is very different partially because of the altitude, and the stadium section is one of the best to drive through on the F1 calendar. The last few races have been messy so our priority will be to keep each session clean, minimise risks and work well as a team.
