Williams Racing is facing a deeper problem than just pace, with its 2026 car showing unpredictable behaviour in long corners. Drivers struggle particularly when braking and turning at the same time, where balance issues cause instability and understeer. Alexander Albon has highlighted how the car lacks consistency, making it difficult to trust. Combined with weight and downforce concerns, the issue points to a fundamental design weakness rather than a simple fix.
