Williams with an eye on their future
It is believed Williams made that request, as they continue to evaluate whether Logan Sargeant is doing enough to keep his seat alongside Alex Albon this season.
When I asked Vowles in Miami about his interest in Antonelli, he said: “There was a rumour going around that he’ll be in the car from Imola – he won’t be in the car for Imola.
“What we’re doing at the moment is evaluating drivers for ‘26 and ‘25, and what we really want is the right driver pairing for those two years, as when you go through a regulation changes [as the sport will do in 2026] you don’t want to be changing drivers, so you’re looking for the right pairing for that period of time.

“There’s no doubt that he’s got huge skill to him, but he was in an F4 car 20 months ago; that’s where he is, it’s a very different proposition to most.
“We’ve been talking to four or five drivers at the moment for that period of time. I’m quite happy to sit back a little bit and wait. More so than that, I have a duty and responsibility to make this car faster first, because Alex [Albon] is a championship-level driver; we’ve got to provide the right car for him to be behind him and we haven’t yet, and then that typically unlocks other possibilities in the future.”
