Williams, the current suspect in the paddock😭 “Carlos was going around and was told to stop, could have come into the pits and was told to stop.” “There were some suspicions in the paddock that he was told to stop because Williams wanted to bring out a safety car so that Alex Albon could come in and get rid of his hard tyres, which were the wrong tyres to be on. Not so say the team, Carlos in that clonk had a hydraulic leak and he was losing steering and it would have been dangerous.”
