Williams should not have described their tactics in last weekend’s race as the “Singapore plan”, said team principal James Vowles, as it risked being “misconstrued.” The team told its drivers Carlos Sainz Jnr and Alexander Albon to maintain a close formation in the second half of Sunday’s race to reduce their chance of being passed by Isack Hadjar, who gained…
