Williams collapses in F1 pecking order: ‘Aston is a different league right now’

Williams' Carlos Sainz has stated that the team now only leads Cadillac in terms of on-track performance within Formula 1, with team-mate Alexander Albon complaining about receiving excessive blue flags. Following the Monaco Grand Prix, Williams scored 11 points across the first six rounds of the season and sits eighth in the constructors' standings.

In Zandvoort, Fernando Alonso managed a ninth-place finish while Albon and Sainz failed to secure a better result than 15th place. The team struggles to break out of Q1, with Aston Martins dominating the grid. Sainz and Albon lament the amount of blue flags they have faced during races, claiming that the Aston Martins are currently a different league compared to Williams, and it's nearly impossible for them to compete.
