The Williams F1 team was forced to exit the Austrian Grand Prix weekend empty-handed after seeing both its cars retire early on in Spielberg. Alex Albon was the only Williams entry to take the start as a brake issue for Carlos Sainz saw him retire before the race even got underway. Sainz caused an aborted start due a brake concern, which resulted in a fire after he returned to the pit lane. Albon was running in the points when he was instructed to return to the pit lane and join his team-mate on the sidelines. It marked the end of a dismal weekend for Williams, who walk away from a race weekend with no points for just the third time this season.
