Williams team principal James Vowles said the squad “got carried away” with their success last season, but insisted that a disappointing 2026 campaign would be merely “a blip”.
Speaking after the conclusion of the 2025 Formula One season, Vowles reflected on the team’s recent performance, noting that the results had raised expectations within the paddock and among the Williams fan base.
He warned that the optimism generated by the previous year’s achievements could lead to complacency, stressing the need for the team to stay focused on continuous improvement.
Regarding the upcoming 2026 season, Vowles described any potential setbacks as temporary, describing them as “a blip” that would not alter the long‑term trajectory of the historic British outfit.
Vowles concluded by reaffirming Williams’ commitment to building a competitive car and sustaining the progress the team has made in recent years.
