LONDON - Williams team principal James Vowles has signed a new long-term contract, the former Formula One world champions said on Thursday.

Vowles, 45, joined Williams from Mercedes in 2023 and has helped turn around their fortunes with the British-based team fifth overall after 10 of 24 races.

Williams, who gave no details about the contract, have scored more points (55) this season with drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon than in the last three combined.

Vowles said in a statement the team had "felt like home from the moment I walked through the door."

"We are all united in our ambition to build on our legacy and win World Championships again. Over the past two years we have focused on fixing the foundations, and now have a platform to go for glory in the years to come." REUTERS
