ALBON SAYS WILLIAMS’ OUTLOOK IS A BOOST FOR HIM
Grand prix driver Alex Albon says that he is enjoying the “small victories” that he is able to achieve with the Williams F1 team.
The London-born Thai driver, who was dropped from the Red Bull team at the end of 2020, has been in the top 10 on two occasions this term on his return to the top-flight.
Albon told Autosport: “When there’s a team that’s looking to win, of course when you finish in sixth or seventh place, that’s not really a good thing. Whereas for us we’re not really where we want to be this year but when we execute perfectly and the car is in its window, we can get points and we can fight up the midfield.
“The main difference between changing teams is that value of success and what is a good weekend. Sometimes you can be out in Q1, but actually you felt like the lap was really good, like the car was good. You felt like as a team, you maximised everything. And you have to take that as a positive even if on reflection it may not seem to the outside like it was.”
Albon recently signed a “multi-year” deal to remain at Williams, but the precise length of the contract has not been revealed.
