You probably know, but they explained on the commentary that Williams (and Alpine) are essentially reusing the tub from last year, so while there are aero tweaks it's a very well sorted car already and likely to peak sooner and look good in testing, but not progress as much throughout the season. Williams are 100% on 2026 hoping to pull off a "brawn" coup with the new rules. I really like that team, Vowles is a smart and measured guy and it's hard to dislike their driver lineup.
To me the biggest surprise is HAAS. They looked decent last year, they are nowhere so far and bits falling off too... Looking fwd to another full day on F1TV and possibly WEC opener on MAX - gotta look!
