Both drivers are mired in uncompetitive machinery deep in the 2026 midfield, with Sainz on 6 points at Williams and Alonso on 3 at Aston Martin after the summer break. Williams’ struggling FW48 has left Sainz fighting for scraps despite outpacing teammate Albon, while Aston Martin’s recent upgrades delivered Alonso his first Q2 appearance and occasional points. Sainz’s multi-year renewal signals long-term commitment to rebuilding the Grove squad, contrasting Alonso’s pending decision on whether enjoyment and team needs justify another campaign at age 45. With many races remaining and both cars far from the leaders, small swings in form, reliability, or late-season development packages could easily flip the narrow implied probability.
