Williams have announced that Alex Albon will continue to race for the team for 2023 and beyond, as part of a multi-year agreement with the British team.
Albon joined Williams for this season as a replacement for George Russell, after Red Bull released the Thai driver from his contract – where he was fulfilling reserve driver duties.
He (Alex) has delivered a strong set of results and scored all the team’s points this season through a 10th place in Australia and ninth in Miami.
Before the ‘Silly’ Season had started, Albon refused to rule out a possible move to Aston Martin when Sebastian Vettel announced his retirement last week, before that seat was swiftly filled by Alonso.
Its not been confirmed yet, on who will be driving with Alex Albon in the other Williams seat. Latifi hasn’t put the performance in they wanted this year and has been out performed by Albon who had been out of the car for a year. Some say, Williams is looking at their junior driver, Logan Sargeant or reigning Formula E Champion, Nyck de Vries.
I am really excited to be staying with Williams Racing for 2023 and look forward to seeing what we can achieve as a team in the remainder of this season and next year. The team has made some strong gains this year and it’s exciting to continue this journey and further develop our learnings together.
Alex Albon on his future.
Alex is a tremendous driver and valued member of Williams Racing, so we’re thrilled to be able to confirm we will be working with him on a long-term basis. Alex brings a great blend of skill and insightful learnings that will help bring the team greater success in the future. He’s a fierce competitor, has proved a popular and loyal team member and we are delighted that he will provide a stable base for us to continue to develop in this new F1 car era.
Jost Capito, Williams Team Principle.
