Williams failed to secure points in Barcelona last weekend, which is the first race they left have empty-handed since Bahrain.<\/p>\n
Unlike in Bahrain, however, it was not poor Safety Car timing or a racing incident that cost the Grove-based team in Spain.<\/p>\n
Instead, the FW47’s fundamental lack of performance<\/a> was their limitation – something that hasn’t happened beforehand in 2025.<\/p>\n Heading into the Spanish GP, Williams knew they might encounter some difficulties.<\/p>\n The Barcelona venue has traditionally been the British team’s worst circuit on the calendar – at least since Pastor Maldonado’s unlikely victory in 2012.<\/p>\n Rather than writing off last weekend as an outlier, Alex Albon<\/a> wants the team to understand why they consistently struggle at this circuit.<\/p>\n Currently 8th in the standings (21 points ahead of Isack Hadjar<\/a> in 9th), Albon is comfortably sitting in the unofficial position of ‘best of the rest’.<\/p>\n For the first time since leaving Red Bull<\/a>, the Thai driver has been given machinery consistently fast enough to score points.<\/p>\nAlbon calls for Williams to understand Spain struggles<\/h2>\n
