Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon have been offered a major glimmer of hope, with F1 fans clearly expecting a strong season for Williams.
In a recent RacingNews365 poll, fans were asked if they thought the Grove-based team would claim a podium in 2025.
Williams last featured on the podium at the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix – the shortest race in the history of the pinnacle of motorsport.
On that washed out day, George Russell finished second at Spa-Francorchamps behind Max Verstappen.
According to fans, this year will see the return of Williams on the F1 podium, with 65% of voters believing that the historic outfit will secure a rostrum.
Specifically, 28.2% think Williams will collect one podium, whilst 36.8% are confident that it will feature in the top three multiple times.
On the other hand, 25.7% suspect that Williams will not be on the podium at any race this year.
