🚨| Williams F1 boss questions Mercedes prediction after rival creates 'narrative':
— James Vowles, Williams team principal, downplayed speculation that Mercedes will dominate with their power unit in 2026. He suggested this narrative was crafted by a rival manufacturer to influence regulation changes. Speaking to media, Vowles remarked:
“No one knows, no one of any engine manufacturer knows where they're going to fall out.”
— Vowles emphasized that the speculation was driven by a team and power unit manufacturer attempting to sway the rules. He continued:
“Part of the speculation that appeared was one team and PU manufacturer trying to create a narrative to get some changes, to be completely clear.”
“I strongly doubt Ferrari has done a poor job, they are very good at getting this right year on year.”
“Honda this year has produced a benchmark engine. So I don't think it's going to be like 2014 where you have such a runaway that you can have all the teams carried with it.”
— Vowles acknowledged Mercedes' preparation for 2026, highlighting their early collaboration:
“Mercedes, we've been working specifically on 2026 with them since early 2024 when we signed the agreement. What I can say is they've done good preparation. Let's see what that translates to.”
“In terms of our aspirations, top three again would be above what we're expecting.”
“I've made the comment and I mean it - stepping forward year on year is a sensible goal for us. Top three would be aspirational.”
