Vowles: "Mick isn't special, he would just be good. I think he would come with a lot more experience than Franco does. But the future of Williams isn't investing in the past." (xcancel.com)

Williams will be running two RB juniors next year, at the expense of two of their own junior drivers.

Neither Albon nor Sainz is an RB junior – they were RB juniors.
