Now I understand why he is so proud of Franco, he said it himself, like a father. Also like Franco, the bigger the challenge, the better they perform. I wish them all the success for this weekend and for all the races to come.

The way he talks about Colapinto 🥰
James is literally my role model

[Damian-nr]

Almost on the verge of crying when he tells what he experienced in brawn gp. He seems like a good guy. Greetings from Argentina.

James is everywhere!! As a Williams fan, I’m confident in his abilities. He’s the right helmsman. Congratulations on double points in Baku! 😊❤🎉

After watching this, no wonder Carlos joined Williams

[savitatripathy]

He is such an interesting person to listen to. So authentic and transparent, so knowledgable and humble. I cant listen to any other team principal that too being so nerdy too. Very impressive!

90% of Aero team working on 2026 car is insane. They are gonna cook it hard!

Williams in good hands with James running it

[jjfreer]

williams quietly bubling away in the background love this. never heard of the new driver, and he can do that quietly, i trust James really is going to do something special in 2026. loved him at mercedes. I really hope williams can join mercedes mclaren and ferrari at the front of the grid soon <3James is a top bloke id certainly invest in every word he says.

[casanomatias]

In Argentina we are all big fans of Williams and James Vowles. Please, let's keep Franco in the team. We don't like Sauber!

[robertjohansson]

As someone who has viewed almost all races since 1987 and is still young enough to view the races for approx the next 25 years before checking out I feel the amount of races are at the right level or maybe one or two too many.

[bautindeah]

Gracias James por darle la oportunidaad a Franco. Siempre estaremos agradecidos <3

[pabloalejandro]

Como lo banco a James!! Gracias por esa oportunidad para Franco.

[AlexNH]

How does Williams come back tho? Would love to see Williams at the top again

[TheSuperdulkar]

Worried about the team having sainz, either it becomes the place sainz matures as a f1 driver or will bring toxicity .hope the former !

[Goaltimer]

How can 45 work on the 2026 car if it isn't allowed before 2025?

Nobody is asking questions about albon. Everyone wants to know about colapinto.
