Albon: Williams' 2026 weight burden won't mask balance problems

Williams’ 2026 season has been hampered by more than just a heavy FW48. Alex Albon says the team cannot hide behind weight, as a lack of downforce and persistent balance issues leave Williams well off the midfield, with China showing the car’s troubles. The team plans overnight setup work and a likely pitlane start to improve driveability, while aiming to out-develop rivals and claw back ground.
