Williams boss promises no more baffling team orders

Williams have made changes to avoid repeating the situation in Miami where Carlos Sainz mistakenly thought Alex Albon had ignored orders not to pass, team boss James Vowles said on Tuesday.

Sainz complained after the May 4 Formula One race that he had been made to “feel stupid” after being informed Albon would hold position behind only for the Thai to then overtake.

“That is not how I go racing. I don’t care. I've lost a lot of confidence here, on everything,” the Spaniard, who joined from Ferrari in January, said over the team radio.

Vowles told reporters at the team factory that the matter had been resolved in about two minutes once he sat down with the drivers after the race.

Albon ended up fifth with Sainz ninth in Williams’ best result in six races so far this season.
