“It was extraordinary – the shouting, screaming. Carlos did a chunk to digicam that was basically perhaps a minute and a half – they missed the primary minute, there was simply screaming ongoing in that time frame, and that alone instructed me what it meant to each a type of people in there.
“After which what I’ve completed after that’s simply comply with it up by simply strolling round actually and asking folks what it means. The reply is what I hoped it might be, which is [that] it’s a press release of intent.
“It’s a really clear assertion of intent; there’s little doubt now that we’re investing on the proper stage, that we now have for my part certainly one of – if not one of the best – driver line-ups on the grid, as a mixture between the 2 [Sainz and Alex Albon]. There’s no politics, they’re each simply efficiency machines.”
One other issue that Vowles believes was influential within the Williams squad’s response to Sainz becoming a member of was that he believes the crew themselves will now have to enhance their very own efficiency so as to match that of the 29-year-old.
