Last year, Williams arrived in Melbourne lacking parts and with serious question marks hanging over them and ended up giving Logan Sargeant’s car to teammate Alexander Albon after they were unable to repair the damage to the latter’s car after an FP1 crash.
This time around, though, they’re crept on the grid with their speed; Carlos Sainz, newly arrived from Ferrari, sixth fastest in FP3 and Albon just one spot back.
