Alex Albon speaks exclusively to Crash.net about the 'responsibility' he feels for Williams and his F1 future.
2024-spec Albon is a world away from the version that was ruthlessly spat out of the Red Bull senior team after just one full season alongsideFollowing a year on the sidelines, Albon has rebuilt his reputation and restored his confidence at his new home at Williams. Over the past two seasons, the 27-year-old has been one of F1’s standout performers.at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, Albon said he is now the happiest and most content he’s ever felt in his F1 career.
2023 was a particularly stellar year for Albon, who single-handedly scored enough points to lift Williams up to seventh place in the constructors’ championship - the British outfit’s best finish since 2017. “Yes I do,” Albon resoundingly said. “I think podiums and wins shouldn’t be off the cards. Of course we have to be realistic as well at the same time.
Albon may have patience, but he knows deep down that challenging for podiums and grand prix wins is unlikely to be a reality for Williams until at least 2026, when new regulations come into play with potential to dramatically shake up the pecking order. “When I look at the changes we’ve made from last year to this year, seeing the impact it’s made on the team. I’m sure James would be the one to say this, but the stresses we’ve put the whole team through to make these huge changes to the car, we’ve still got a long way to go and we still have room to improve.
